Indians Topple Twins, 9-4, as Rios Shines
Behind the hitting of Alex Rios, the Cleveland Indians stopped the Minnesota Twins, 9-4. Rios was 4-5 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 5 for the Indians. The winning pitcher was Kelvim Escobar. He tossed 96 pitches over 7.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. The win takes Cleveland to 11-7.

Cleveland used a clutch at-bat from Ty Wigginton to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Indians ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Getting the win feels nice," said Wigginton. "More importantly, I had a good game."
