Gregory Soto (2-4) took the loss, while Kepler's heroics made a winner out of Jhoan Duran (6-5), who logged a 1-2-3 ninth. Kepler also tripled as part of a 2-for-5 day that included two RBIs and one run. Carlos Santana also had two hits and two RBIs for the Twins, who won for just the second time in six games.
