Manuel Margot went 2-for-5 with two RBIs and the Minnesota Twins pulled away for a 7-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night in Minneapolis.

Carlos Santana finished 2-for-4 with an RBI double for the Twins, who won the series opener after losing two straight games against the Milwaukee Brewers upon returning from the All-Star break. Minnesota’s Willi Castro also drove in two runs, while Max Kepler collected two hits and an RBI.

Bryce Harper socked a two-run homer to lead the Philadelphia offense, which was limited to four hits.

Twins right-hander Bailey Ober (9-5) limited Phillies hitters to two runs on four hits in seven innings. He walked one and struck out four. Cole Sands followed with two hitless innings for his third save.

Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (10-5) gave up three runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out four.

Harper gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the first. Turner hit a one-out single to right field and Harper followed with a 424-foot shot to right for his 23rd homer of the year.

The Twins got on the scoreboard in the third when Castro singled to center to drive in Diego A. Castillo from third base.

Minnesota grabbed a 3-2 lead in the fifth. Margot ripped a two-run single to right to drive in Kepler and Castillo, who opened the inning with back-to-back hits.

The Twins increased their lead to 4-2 in the seventh. Ryan Jeffers hit a leadoff double to center and came home to score on Santana’s two-out double to right.

A three-run eighth boosted Minnesota’s edge to 7-2. Kepler hit an RBI single to right, Castro drew a bases-loaded walk, and Edouard Julien scored on a wild pitch.

Alec Bohm reached and advanced to second on a throwing error by shortstop Castro in the ninth. However, Sands got J.T. Realmuto to fly out to right to end the game.
