Twins Drop Bobcats, 11-8
The Minnesota Twins needed 14 innings to defeat the Cleveland Bobcats, 11-8, at Arhaus. Minnesota first baseman Steve Speas had a superb performance. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and 3 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. Minnesota, at 78-55, is 15½ games up in the American League Central Division.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Mike Smith came to bat in the top of the 14th. Facing Cleveland pitcher Steve Everingham, he hit a 1-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Minnesota on top, 9-8.

"Baseball is a wild game -- a crazy game, sometimes," said Speas.
