Guardians Slap 6-2 Loss on Twins
Cleveland Guardians starter Oral Hildebrand found his groove in his team's 6-2 win over the Minnesota Twins. The winner was Hildebrand. He threw 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Marty Janzen. Cleveland occupies 9th place in the American League at 52-81.

Cleveland used a clutch at-bat from Chico Salmon to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Guardians ahead, 3-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Said losing manager Dan Hornbaker: "Give the Guardians credit. They played a better game than we did."
