Kenta Maeda picked up his third win in as many starts Tuesday, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers past the Minnesota Twins 6-2 for their fourth consecutive victory since their 11-game winning streak was snapped.
Maeda (9-4) limited the damage to two runs -- one earned -- and five hits while striking out four and walking two in five innings at Dodger Stadium. It was his third straight five-inning outing.
The 29-year-old right-hander allowed the Twins to score first on a Zack Granite single in the third, and the visitors' second run was scored by Brian Dozier, who had reached base on a throwing error in the fifth.
Chris Taylor went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and Yasiel Puig went 3-for-4 with an RBI to highlight the Dodgers' 11-hit offense.
Twins starter Jose Berrios (9-4) gave up four runs on seven hits and a walk in four innings.
At Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Norichika Aoki went 0-for-3, but his sacrifice fly broke a scoreless tie in the third as Houston Astros went on to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-0.
