Cleveland Stopped, 8-2, by Minnesota
The Minnesota Twins tallied a win at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, throttling the Cleveland Guardians, 8-2. Starting pitcher Jin-ho Cho was a big reason for his team's success. The victory gives the Twins a record of 27-19.

An inflection point occurred with no one out in the bottom of the third. That's when Twins shortstop Melvin Upton Jr. hit a curveball from Wilson Alvarez for a 2-run single. Just like that, Minnesota was up, 3-2.

"I wish every win came this easy," said Upton Jr..
