– Mitch Garver homered and six Minnesota pitchers combined for a two-hitter to lead the Twins to a 3-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. Max Kepler added two doubles and scored twice and Jorge Polanco had two hits and an RBI for the Twins, who increased their American League Central Division lead to 2 1 ⁇ 2 games over the Indians. Devin Smeltzer (1-0), the second Minnesota pitcher, picked up the victory, allowing one run on two hits over 2 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out two. Sergio Romo pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to garner his second save. Aaron Civale took the loss despite tying his career-high with nine strikeouts. Civale allowed three runs on five hits in six innings and didn’t walk a batter. Cleveland manager Terry Francona returned to the team’s hotel prior to the game with a minor gastrointestinal issue that the team said was not related to COVID-19. First base coach Sandy Alomar Jr. took over managing duties for the game.
