Indians Fall Short at Minnesota
The Cleveland Indians got a superb performance from pitcher Jimmy Nelson, but the Minnesota Twins still won the game, 5-4. Nelson was named the player of the game despite the loss. He threw 7 innings of shutout ball. Minnesota is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 6th in 17 games.

Maikel Franco's at-bat in the bottom of the eighth inning was a big one for Minnesota. Coming to bat with two out, runners on 1st and 2nd and Minnesota trailing 4-3, the third baseman reached on an error by the left fielder, driving in 1 run.

"We'll grab a cold one tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Franco said.
