Simeon Woods Richardson earned his third win of the season after striking out six in five scoreless innings. The Twins are in third place in the A-L Central at 39-42. Emerson Hancock was charged with his fourth loss after surrendering two runs on three hits in five frames. The 41-39 M’s have dropped their last two games.
