Whit Merrifield batted in 3 runs to lead Minnesota to a win over Cleveland. The final score was 12-4. Merrifield chipped in with 1 single and 1 home run. Nick Pivetta, who went 5 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 6 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 8-10. With the win, Minnesota has a record of 47-62. Cleveland falls to 46-61.

Miguel Rojas went 1 for 4 with a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Minnesota. The 29-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring walk off Drew Pomeranz. It was his 18th walk of the season.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Merrifield.
