Indians Win at Minnesota, 9-6
Minnesota designated hitter Jay Bruce had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 9-6, to Cleveland at Target Field. Bruce went 2-5 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The Indians, at 73-45, have now won 5 straight.

Cleveland used the timely hitting of Steven Souza Jr. to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put the Indians on top, 4-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We're stringing together some nice wins," said Cleveland manager Mitchell King.
