Twins Prevail, 4-3, Over Cleveland
Minnesota rode a decent outing from starter Tim Cooney to victory over the Cleveland Spiders. The final score was 4-3. Jorge Fajardo was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 13 of 17 save opportunities. The Twins, at 66-90, sit in last place in the American League Central Division.

Freddie Freeman drove in one run for Minnesota. The five-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Hunter Harvey. It was his 56th RBI of the season.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Cooney.
