Gausman left with two outs in the sixth trailing 2-1, and Mason Fluharty faced four hitters — three reached, three scored, and the game was gone. Ryan Jeffers had already done the real damage with a 2-run homer in the fourth that answered Daulton Varsho's solo shot in the same half-inning. Bailey Ober gave Minnesota six innings of one-run ball and struck out two. Royce Lewis's lineout left the bat at 111.6 mph — the hardest contact of the night — and died at 337 feet. Two errors and seven men left on base.
