Cleveland Wins, Kwan goes 4-for-5
The Cleveland Guardians easily defeated the Minnesota Twins, 12-2, at Target Field, with center fielder Steven Kwan a main contributor to the win. He went 4-5 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3 for Cleveland. The winner was Triston McKenzie, who threw 108 pitches over 8 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 3 hits. The Guardians go to 48-71, putting them 4th in the American League Central Division.

In the top of the first, Josh Naylor pounced on a curveball from Chris Paddack and hit a run-scoring single. It gave Cleveland a quick 1-0 lead.

Minnesota manager Ryan Ranta was on the defensive afterward. "You can go back and make us look as bad as you want to," he told a reporter, "and then I can throw more numbers at you and make us look better."
