Indians hold off Minnesota Twins in ninth to secure 6-5 win

For the first time in three nights, the Indians were able to hold off the Minnesota Twins.

With two outs in the ninth, Cody Allen got Joe Mauer to fly out with the tying run in scoring position to secure a 6-5 win at Target Field. The Twins had won the previous two games on walk-off hits.

Indians starter Josh Tomlin (3-0, 3.18 ERA) was tagged for three runs in the bottom of the first but limited the damage from there, allowing the Indians to eventually get to Twins starter Jose Berrios, who was making his major-league debut.
