Guardians Handle Minnesota, Snag 2-1 Win
The Cleveland Guardians picked up a win at Progressive Field, knocking off the Minnesota Twins, 2-1. On the mound for Cleveland was left-hander Jose C. Medina. He played a key role in the triumph. Heath Hembree earned the save for Cleveland, his 2nd of the year. The loss drops Minnesota to 16-16.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Guardians had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fifth, when designated hitter Joe Wendle hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Adys Portillo and made the score 2-1, Guardians. Wendle was 1-3 with a walk.

"Tough loss," said Minnesota manager Robin Ventura. "But we'll learn from it."
