Minnesota Wins, Trumping Cleveland, 9-6
The Minnesota Twins powered past the Cleveland Guardians, 9-6, at Target Field. Lou Smith was 2 for 3 with a double and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once, to lead the charge. The Twins improved their record to 79-70 by beating Cleveland.

Raúl Fernández had a big 2-run double for the Twins in the bottom of the third inning. With Minnesota leading 4-3 and the bases loaded, he got a curveball from Hunter Harvey, who finished 4th in the NL in wins with 15 in 2018, and swatted a double to center. It was his 6th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Twins ahead, 6-3.

"Their at-bats were really impressive against us," said losing manager Tristan Bugbie.
