The Tampa Bay Rays used a four-run first inning to jump on Dylan Bundy early and Minnesota Twins saw their seven-game winning streak come to an end in a 6-1 loss on Friday night.
Bundy entered the game with a 0.59 ERA but the Rays inflated that number quickly after Wander Franco delivered an RBI double. The Twins fell into a deeper hole when Josh Lowe smashed a three-run homer later in the first to put Tampa up 4-0.
It was the catalyst of a rough night for Bundy, who fanned a season-high seven batters but also gave up a season-high six runs.
With the Twins down, they couldn't find enough offense to get back into the game. Carlos Correa recorded his second straight multi-hit game, going 2-for-4 with an RBI single but Corey Kluber dominated on the mound, allowing one run over six innings to secure the victory.
The Twins will hope to get back in the win column when they play the second game of the series on Saturday afternoon.
