TWINS 3, INDIANS 2
Minnesota’s Fernando Rodney struck out Francisco Lindor with the tying run on second base in the ninth inning, helping the Twins to the win. Minnesota catcher Mitch Garver hit a three-run home run in the second inning, which was enough to win.
Lindor homered in the eighth but struck out looking on a 2-2 pitch as Rodney recorded his 325th career save – moving him into 17th place on the career list.
Twins left-hander Adalberto Mejia (2-0) pitched five innings of one-hit ball before departing due to a strained left wrist.
Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco (13-6) allowed three runs and 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings.
The start of the game was delayed by rain for 2 hours, 10 minutes.
