He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Minnesota reliever Luis Longoria was credited with the win. His record goes to 1-0. Dave Ascencio took the loss for Cleveland. Earning his 3rd save for Minnesota was Bryce Jones.

Izzy Ibarra contributed to the Minnesota win with a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the 11th. For the game, the third baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 4 runs batted in.

"Our guys refused to lose," said Ibarra.
