The Tampa Bay Rays earned a dramatic 8-7 victory over the Minnesota Twins in a game played on April 20, 2018, concluding late that night. The contest went into extra innings, and the decisive moment arrived in the bottom of the tenth with two outs. Denard Span hit a ground ball that led to a crucial error by the Twins. Minnesota reliever Zach Duke took a throw from first baseman Joe Mauer but missed stepping on first base. This miscue allowed pinch-runner Johnny Field to race home from second base, scoring the winning run and ending the game in walk-off fashion for Tampa Bay.
