<p>MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Gabriel Moreno's infield single drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Minnesota Twins 5-2 on Saturday.</p>
<p>With two outs and runners on second and third, Moreno hit a chopper against reliever Cole Sands (4-5) deep into the shortstop hole. Brooks Lee fielded the ball but Moreno beat his throw to first by a half-step, giving the Diamondbacks a 3-2 lead.</p>
<p>Two batters later, Blaze Alexander hit a two-run double to provide the final margin.</p>
<p>Arizona starter Ryne Nelson gave up four hits and walked three while striking out four in six scoreless innings. Alek Thomas hit a two-run homer for the Diamondbacks, trying to stay close in the race for the final National League wild card.</p>
<p>John Curtiss (3-1) pitched two scoreless innings for the win.</p>
<p>Trailing 2-0 in the eighth, Minnesota tied it on Kody Clemens' two-run single.</p>
<p>The Diamondbacks took a 2–0 lead in the fourth when Adrian Del Castillo doubled and Thomas ripped a 2-0 fastball from starter Joe Ryan onto the plaza beyond the right-field seats.</p>
<p>Ryan labored through his outing, needing 93 pitches to get through four innings. He allowed four hits and two runs while walking two and striking out four.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>Minnesota loaded the bases with nobody out in the second, but Nelson struck out the next two batters and then retired James Outman on a grounder to keep the game scoreless.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>In his last five starts, Ryan is 1-3 with a 7.36 ERA (18 earned runs in 22 innings).</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>Arizona RHP Nabil Crismatt (2-0, 3.24 ERA) will face Twins RHP Bailey Ober (5-7, 5.08) in Sunday's series finale.</p>
