PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joe Mauer hit a tying homer off Brad Lidge to cap a five-run rally in the ninth inning and Delmon Young drove in the go-ahead run in the 11th, sending the Minnesota Twins to a 13-10 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.

Each team hit a dramatic homer when it was down to its last out in a wild game that featured nine home runs and 29 hits.

Pinch-hitter Jim Thome cracked a two-run homer in the ninth off Phillies reliever Jose Contreras. Two outs later, Mauer’s two-run drive off Lidge tied it at 9.

Drew Butera’s first career home run, also a pinch-hit shot, gave the Twins a 10-9 lead in the 10th, but pinch-hitter Ross Gload hit a tying homer off closer Jon Rauch (2-1) with two outs in the bottom half.
