SAN FRANCISCO—Mike Yastrzemski tripled and scored when the relay throw skipped past Minnesota Twins third baseman Diego Castillo in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday, giving the San Francisco Giants a 3–2 victory.

After San Francisco closer Camilo Doval issued a walk and gave up two doubles to blow a 2–0 lead in the top of the ninth, Yastrzemski laced a 2-1 splitter from Jhoan Duran (5–4) into the gap in right-center field. Twins center fielder Manuel Margot fell while chasing the ball, allowing Yastrzemski to take third.
