Bradley passes 200 strikeouts, pitches Twins to 3-2 win over Giants

On Tuesday night, Minnesota's Taj Bradley pitched the Twins to a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. Bradley reached the impressive milestone of 200 strikeouts for the season, becoming only the ninth pitcher in Major League Baseball this year to achieve that feat. He struck out two batters in the first inning and finished with six strikeouts total for his sixth win of the season against six losses. Despite San Francisco’s efforts, including a run scored in the ninth inning when they had men on first and second with two outs, Jeff Hoffman secured the save by striking out Victor Bericoto.

The Giants' starter, Anthony Molina, initially held Minnesota scoreless through six innings but gave up two runs later on. He allowed four hits while striking out six batters and issuing one walk in his six-inning start. The Twins managed to break the deadlock with key hits from Ryan Kreidler, Luke Keaschall, and Brooks Lee, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 lead by the sixth inning.
