Twins Losers, 10-2, Versus Cleveland
Cleveland Indians starter Corey Kluber had all his pitches working at Progressive Field. His stellar performance paved the way for an easy 10-2 Cleveland win over the Minnesota Twins. The win hiked the Cleveland record to 76-70.

Jason Giambi was 1-5 for Cleveland. The 30-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the third. With one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring single off Bert Blyleven. It was his 136th hit of the season.

"What a debacle," groaned Minnesota manager in postgame remarks.
