  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Minnesota Twins (51-64) 0 0 1 0 0 0 4 0 0 5 8 1

Twins Win at Cleveland, 5-3
The Cleveland Indians got a superb performance from pitcher Ervin Santana, but the Minnesota Twins still won the game, 5-3. Santana was named the player of the game despite the loss. He threw 6 innings of 4-hit ball. The Twins now have a record of 51-64.

Had Freddie Freeman not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Freeman hit a 2-run single. That made the score 5-3, in favor of the Twins.

Freeman called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
