Indians Rally to Win
The Cleveland Indians beat the Minnesota Twins, 3-0. Cleveland pitcher and Vallejo, California, native CC Sabathia led the way. Cleveland reliever Addie Joss picked up the win, while Joe Nathan took the loss for Minnesota. The second-place Indians have won 4 straight games.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the tenth for Cleveland. That's when Jose Ramirez, who is tied for 8th in the AL in home runs with 27, hit a 3-run home run off Joe Nathan to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"I'm proud of the way we played. It's fun playing baseball like that," said Indians manager .
