Guardians Win Nail-Biter in 10
The Cleveland Guardians needed 10 innings to defeat the Minnesota Twins, 9-8, at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Cleveland center fielder Dexter Fowler had a superb performance. He went 4-5 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 4 times. Cleveland has run its win streak to 6 straight.

The game was all tied up in the top of the tenth, until Fowler delivered big-time for Cleveland, stroking a dramatic solo home run off Chris Honsa. The game-changing hit put the Guardians on top, 9-8.

"We take it day by day here," said Fowler, "and today was a good one for us."
