Minnesota Wins Game 5 in Extras; On Verge of R2
The Minnesota Twins nearly wasted a strong game from starter Roy Welmaker, but were saved by some timely hitting in a 12th inning walk-off win over the Houston Astros today.

Welmaker pitched well in the 3-2 win at Target Field. He threw 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball. The win allowed Minnesota to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 Round 1.

Batting in the bottom of the 12th, 28-year old third baseman Cecil Travis had a real shot to win the game. Houston pitcher Frank DiPino was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Travis hit a run-scoring single. The Twins had a walk-off triumph.

Astros manager did not take questions after the game, telling assembled reporters that he would hold a press conference "if and when we win the Round 3."

The next game is set to be played for Friday, September 26th , 2014 at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
