Max Kepler's two-out blunder in right gives Cleveland Indians two gift runs in the first

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Minnesota Twins right fielder Max Kepler gift-wrapped a run for the Cleveland Indians in the top of the first inning Tuesday when he dropped a routine fly ball on the warning track.

Michael Brantley scored from second base on Kepler's error, which came off the bat of Jose Ramirez with two outs.

Lonnie Chisenhall followed with an RBI single to right field and the Indians took an early 3-0 lead against Twins starter Phil Hughes.

Edwin Encarnacion delivered an RBI ground out to short that scored Francisco Lindor to get the Tribe on the board.
