Abel made his Twins debut and he wound up giving up six runs on seven hits and two walks in only three innings.

Lewis hit the sixth grand slam of his career Friday, then saved the game with a dazzling defensive play, for good measure.

The Twins nearly blew a four-run lead in the eighth inning. Lefty reliever Génesis Cabrera recorded only one out, giving up a hit and two walks. Justin Topa surrendered a bases-loaded walk and two RBI singles to his first three batters before inducing a foul ball against Colson Montgomery.
