LOS ANGELES — Logan Forsythe, back from the disabled list, hit a walk-off double in the 13th inning, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday.
Yasmani Grandal homered for the Dodgers, who won for the fifth time in the past six contests. Josh Fields (1-0) retired the side in the 13th for the win.
Forsythe, who struck out four times before drawing a walk in the 11th inning, doubled off Jonathan Broxton (0-1), scoring Enrique Hernandez, who had walked. It was the first game in more than a month for Forsythe, who had been out due to fractured toe and a strained hamstring.
Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw fanned 10, walked none and allowed three hits but did not factor into the decision. Kershaw threw a ninth-inning wild pitch that scoring the tying run for St. Louis. Cardinals starter Lance Lynn struck out 10 in eight innings of one-run ball.
Twins 2, Orioles 0: Ervin Santana went the distance for Minnesota, and Brian Dozier added a solo home run as the Twins scored a second straight victory over Baltimore.
After a slugfest in the series opener Monday — a 14-7 Twins win — this game belonged to the pitchers, specifically Santana and Baltimore’s Dylan Bundy.

Adams was 3-for-5 with a double and a homer.

Cubs 4, Giants 1: Jon Lester allowed one run on four hits and struck out a season-high 10 in a complete game — his first of the year — as Chicago beat San Francisco.
