Walk-Off Seals 97th Victory for Twins
The Minnesota Twins weathered a fine game by Cleveland catcher Chris Pineiro to upend the Guardians, 9-8, at Target Field. Pineiro was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. The win went to Sonny Rupiper in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Pablo Iglesias took the loss. Cleveland, at 62-99, has lost 4 straight.

Brian Buell was the walk-off hero for Minnesota. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Twins center fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Chris Greuling.
