ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Minnesota Twins are a hit — and getting hit. Eddie Rosario hit a tiebreaking two-run single off Adam Kolarek in the ninth inning after a pair of batters were hit by pitches, and the Twins beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-3 Friday night in a matchup of two of the major leagues’ hottest teams. Diego Castillo (1-4) hit Jonathan Schoop on the left shoulder with a slider leading off the ninth. Astudillo had an RBI single in the first, but Kevin Kiermaier’s two-run homer in the second put the Rays ahead. Rays: C Zunino (strained left quadriceps) was reinstated from the 10-day IL and C Erik Kratz was designated for assignment.
