Cleveland Guardians (56-105) 3 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 6 10 0
Minnesota Twins (87-74) 1 0 0 0 1 6 0 0 X 8 8 3
Cleveland Stopped, 8-6, by Minnesota
Thanks in large part to first baseman Edwin Hernandez, the Minnesota Twins beat the Cleveland Guardians, 8-6. Hernandez hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Minnesota pitcher Craig Joines earned the win, hiking his record to 4-2. Matt Mattingly suffered the loss. Tim Brockman, credited with the save, is now 2 for 2 in save opportunities.

The Guardians had been locked in a 6-6 tie with the Twins going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old second baseman Nate Carpenter came to the plate. Carpenter hit a 2-run double on a 0-1 fastball from Cleveland hurler Jason Wight. It was Carpenter's 26th double of the year.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Hernandez.

The second-place Twins now have a record of 87-74.
