Twins top Mariners 6-3 behind early boost on back-to-back HRs by Correa, Larnach

Associated Press  

MINNEAPOLIS — Carlos Correa and Trevor Larnach hit consecutive home runs for Minnesota in the first inning off Seattle starter George Kirby, and the Twins hung on to beat the Mariners 6-3 and help Chris Paddack win his fourth straight start on Wednesday night. “There’s going to be very few opportunities that I get this year to be able to ask Rocco for more,” Paddack said, “and tonight was one of those.” Castro, who has taken over as the regular center fielder with Byron Buxton out, took hold of the club’s lucky summer sausage in the dugout after going deep. “We were really aggressive with him.” Kirby gave up four runs in five innings, failing to add to Seattle’s total of 22 quality starts that’s tied for the major league lead with Philadelphia. “It’s not coming out right now.” Kirby Snead, who was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma before the game, pitched a perfect sixth in becoming the 1,000th player to appear in a game in Mariners history.
