Minnesota Wins 2-1 Nail-Biter
The Minnesota Twins did just enough to secure a victory over the Cleveland Indians, 2-1, in 10 innings at Target Field. Nobody did more than pitcher Walter Johnson. Joe Nathan picked up the win in relief. Rafael Betancourt took the loss for Cleveland. Minnesota is now 40-59.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 2nd and two out in the bottom of the seventh inning. That's when right fielder Tony Oliva hit a run-scoring single. The Twins went on to win.

"Drama and more drama," said Twins manager . "That's baseball at its finest."
