MINNEAPOLIS — Logan Morrison hit a two-run double Sunday to give the Minnesota Twins’ offense a much-needed lift, and four relievers worked 3 1/3 scoreless innings in a 3-1 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Morrison’s liner hit high off the right-field wall with one out and the bases loaded in the eighth against reliever Boone Logan. Minnesota was 3 for 18 with runners in scoring position in the series before Morrison’s double.
The Twins salvaged the final game of the series, snapping a three-game skid with an injury-decimated starting lineup.
Addison Reed (1-3) struck out one in one hitless inning. Fernando Rodney struck out the side in the ninth to secure his ninth save in 12 chances.

METS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 1: Amed Rosario hit his first two home runs of the season and pinch-hitter Asdrubal Cabrera connected for a go-ahead drive, leading New York to a surprising sweep at home.
The Mets hadn’t won back-to-back games in more than a month before rolling past the NL West leaders for their first three-game sweep at home since September 2016 vs. Minnesota. Arizona has lost four straight and 10 of 11, scoring 22 runs in that span.

Darvish (1-3) went six innings and allowed only two hits, both in the first, during his eighth start since signing a $126 million, six-year contract with Chicago in the last offseason.
