Indians Get 11-3 Win, Extend Streak to 5 Games
The Cleveland Indians beat the Minnesota Twins, 11-3, at Progressive Field. The win was due in part to second baseman Cesar Hernandez, who went 2 for 4 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Carlos Carrasco earned the win for Cleveland. He lasted 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 12 hits, while striking out 3. With the win, he raised his record to 8-7. Minnesota has now lost 4 in a row.

With Cleveland leading 3-2 in the bottom of the third, Hernandez hit a fastball from Kenta Maeda for a grand slam home run. It was his 10th home run of the season and put the Indians ahead, 7-2.

"Today was a lot of fun," said Hernandez.
