(AP Photo/Eric Thayer) By DOUG PADILLA Royce Lewis and Christian Vazquez each drove in three runs as the Minnesota Twins beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-7 on Tuesday night. Lewis, a native of nearby Orange County, Calif., had a runs-scoring fielder's choice in the second inning, a bases-loaded walk in the sixth, and a run-scoring grounder in the seventh that brought in two more runs on pitcher Edgardo Henriquez's throwing error. Reliever Brock Stewart (2-1) pitched a scoreless fifth inning to earn the win. Andy Pages hit a three-run home run and Shohei Ohtani had a two-run shot for the Dodgers, who managed to end a six-game home losing streak Monday but have now dropped 11 of their past 14 overall since July 4. It is the first time Ohtani has hit a home run in four consecutive games. Dodgers All-Star right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up three runs — one earned — and five hits in five innings. Ben Casparius (7-4) was charged with three runs without recording an out in the sixth. The Twins took a 6-3 lead in the sixth inning with their second of three three-run innings as Lewis walked with the bases loaded, Harrison Bader had an RBI ground out and Vazquez delivered a run-scoring single. Hyeseong Kim brought the Dodgers to 6-5 with a two-run single in the sixth. The Twins responded with a three-run seventh when Lewis' comebacker scored Carlos Correa then brought in Ty France and Matt Walner when Henriquez threw past first base and into right field. France, from nearby West Covina, had an RBI double in the ninth. One night after losing left-handed reliever Tanner Scott to an elbow injury, the Dodgers saw Casparius depart with a right calf cramp immediately after he allowed Lewis' bases-loaded walk in the sixth. Casparius and Will Klein combined for six walks. The Twins' victory was only their third against the Dodgers since 2017, leaving them 3-12 against Los Angeles in the nine-year stretch. They are 3-13 all-time at Dodger Stadium, including postseason games.

Royce Lewis, Christian Vazquez carry Twins past struggling Dodgers
July 23 - Royce Lewis and Christian Vazquez each drove in three runs and the visiting Minnesota Twins used a trio of three-run innings to earn a 10-7 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. Lewis, a native of Southern California, managed to drive in a run in three separate innings without the aid of a base hit, turning a fielder's choice, a bases-loaded walk and a comebacker into three RBIs. Carlos Correa had two hits, two walks and scored four runs, while Ty France, a Los Angeles-area native, also had two hits with two walks and scored three runs as Minnesota improved to 2-3 on a six-game road trip. Andy Pages hit a three-run home run and Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run shot for the Dodgers, who have lost seven of their last eight home games and 11 of their last 14 games overall. Ohtani has a home run in four consecutive games for the first time in his career. Los Angeles had errors from third baseman Miguel Rojas and pitcher Edgardo Henriquez as four of the 10 Minnesota runs were unearned. The Twins took a 3-0 lead in the second inning on Lewis' fielder's choice and a two-run double from Vazquez. The Dodgers tied it in the fourth on Pages' home run, his 19th of the season and second of the series. Minnesota took the lead for good in the sixth when Los Angeles right-hander Ben Casparius walked three of the first four batters before departing with a calf injury after Lewis' bases-loaded free pass. A Harrison Bader groundout and a Vazquez single made it 6-3. The Dodgers pulled within a run in the sixth at 6-5 on a two-run single from Hyeseong Kim. The Twins opened their advantage in the seventh, loading the bases on three consecutive walks from Will Klein. Lewis then hit a comebacker that Klein's replacement, Henriquez, threw into right field, allowing all three runners to score. France had an RBI double in the ninth for the Twins, who walked seven times, with six coming against the Dodgers' bullpen. Former Dodgers right-hander Brock Stewart (2-1) earned the win with a scoreless inning. --Field Level Media
