Sunday, Apr. 1 1:05pm ET
Minnesota 6, Tampa Bay 5
RECAP | BOX SCORE

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) _ Newcomer Mike Judd gave up the tying and winning runs on wild pitches as the Minnesota Twins rallied past the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 6-5 Sunday.

Judd, making his first relief appearance since coming to Tampa Bay in a March 28 trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, inherited a 4-3 lead in the eighth inning.

He retired only one batter, giving up three runs, two hits, two walks and the key wild pitches.

Ben Grieve gave the Devil Rays a two-run lead in the first inning with an RBI single. He led off the fourth with a double and later scored to make it 3-0.

Grieve finished the spring with six straight hits.

David Ortiz hit a two-run homer off Devil Rays relief pitcher Ariel Prieto in the sixth. Prieto also was acquired March 28 after being released by the Cleveland Indians.

Twins relief pitcher Jason Simontacchi (1-0) earned the victory. He pitched three innings and gave up a solo homer to Damian Rolls.
