Twins Best Guardians in Pitching Duel
The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at League Park, dropping the Cleveland Guardians, 2-0. Luis Cessa, who is rated as the 59th best prospect by BNN, was the difference-maker. The Guardians, now 21-28, have lost 5 in a row.

Minnesota used a clutch at-bat from Pat McNulty to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Twins ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Been a rough stretch for us," said Cleveland manager Barry Jackson.
