Though the Twins mounted a comeback after that, the inning played a large role in sinking them to a 4-3 loss on Saturday night at Progressive Field.After walking the first batter of the inning, José Ramírez reached on a single that first baseman Donovan Solano couldn’t corral. On the very next play, Josh Naylor poked a ball toward third baseman Jose Miranda, who slid to stop it but fell over before he could get a throw off. The ball ended up trickling towards Carlos Correa. An alert Ramírez had broken towards third.Correa underhanded the ball toward Miranda, who lunged at Ramírez, failing to tag him. That prompted Twins manager Rocc...
