Minnesota Defeated by Cleveland, 3-2 | In a low-scoring tilt between the Cleveland Blues and the Minnesota Twins, Luis Gonzalez was the difference-maker. The Cleveland right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Gonzalez, now 12-10, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 9 hits, while striking out 6, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs. Irv Young earned his 19th save in 22 tries.
Nap Lajoie, the 31-year old second baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Lajoie contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fifth inning to put Cleveland up, 1-0.
"We put some tough at-bats on some tough pitches," said Cleveland manager Joel Mejiano.
With the win, Cleveland goes to 50-63, while the Twins fall to 55-58. | | | | |
