Escobar's 3 doubles not enough for Twins

CLEVELAND -- Eduardo Escobar added to his Major League-leading total with a career-high three doubles to give him 30 on the season, but it came in a losing effort, as right-hander Jake Odorizzi struggled and the offense went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position in a 4-1 loss to the Indians on Sunday afternoon.

Minnesota had a chance for a sweep over Cleveland, but had to settle for taking two out of three, as the Indians increased their lead over the Twins to five games in the American League Central. Escobar stayed hot, though, and is now on pace for 71 doubles, which would break the Major League record of 67 set by the Red Sox's Earl Webb in 1931.
