MINNEAPOLIS, May 22 (UPI) -- Lew Ford tripled and scored on an error in the bottom of the 11th inning Sunday as the Minnesota Twins posted a 6-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
After Ford's lead-off triple, two intentional walks around a groundout loaded the bases before Luis Rodriguez' grounder was booted by Junior Spivey, allowing Ford to score the winning run.
Jesse Crain (3-0) had a scoreless 11th for the win. Johan Santana started for Minnesota and allowed only two runs on five hits in seven innings. He walked one and struck out 11. Santana had a bid for a no-hitter broken up with two outs in the sixth when Brady Clark homered.
Shannon Stewart hit a game-tying, two-run homer in the ninth for the Twins. Minnesota has won four of its last five games.
