Cleveland Indians starter Noah Syndergaard turned in an exceptional performance against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field, resulting in a Cleveland win, 4-2. David Robertson converted his 29th save in 30 tries. Cleveland leads the American League Central Division by 7 games.

One important at-bat came with a runner on 1st in the top of the third inning. Facing Minnesota hurler Jameson Taillon, J.D. Martinez, who is on pace to hit 51 home runs this season, hit a 2-run home run. The Indians went on to win.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Cleveland manager Mitchell King. "Our pregame was pretty good."
