MINNEAPOLIS — Lance Lynn made this start harder on himself with five walks and one hit Cleveland batter.
The same goes for the Twins offence, with 30 runs over the last four games. Rosario has been the steadiest of all, with a team-leading 36 RBIs headlining a strong case to become a first-time All-Star. Dozier, who hit an RBI triple in the third inning right before Rosario’s 10th homer of the season and added an RBI double during a four-run sixth, has heated up this weekend, too.
Allen played right field, while Bradley Zimmer was back in centre field for the first time in 21 games after being out with a bruised left rib.
Indians: RHP Mike Clevinger (4-2, 3.14 ERA) will start on Sunday afternoon. He was second in the American League, entering the game on Saturday, with a 1.61 ERA on the road among pitchers with more than one start.
Twins: RHP Kyle Gibson (1-3, 3.57 ERA) will take the mound for the series finale. Gibson, who has a 5.82 ERA in 13 career starts against the Indians, has taken three losses and seven no-decisions since winning his first turn of the season.
