won the opener 6-0<\/a>, hitting five home runs in a game for the first time since April 10, 2021.<\/p>\nLimited to one hit through four innings, Cleveland sent 10 batters to the plate in the fifth inning.<\/p>\n
A one-out single by Kwan scored Brayan Rocchio and Petey Halpin. With two outs, Kyle Manzardo and C.J. Kayfus had RBI singles around a two-run double by Gabriel Arias to the wall in right-center field.<\/p>\n
Kwan added a two-run single in the eighth.<\/p>\n
That was more than enough for Logan Allen (8-11), who earned his first win since July 29 by scattering four hits and striking out seven in a career-high eight innings.<\/p>\n
Guardians starters have allowed no more than two earned runs in 15 straight games since Sept. 5, the longest streak in franchise history.<\/p>\n
Bailey Ober (5-9) permitted six runs and eight hits in five innings for the Twins. After going 4-1 in his first seven starts, he is 1-8 in 19 starts since May 8. He missed 26 games from June 29 to Aug. 2 with a left hip impingement.<\/p>\n
Halpin\u2019s single was his first career hit. The 23-year-old outfielder was called up from the minors earlier in the day when outfielder Nolan Jones was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique.<\/p>\n
The Twins had seven hits in the doubleheader, falling to 2-7 in their past nine games and 4-15 in September.<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s series finale has Cleveland LHP Joey Cantillo (5-3, 3.27 ERA) scheduled to face Minnesota RHP Simeon Woods Richardson (7-4, 4.31).<\/p>\n
