Cleveland Indians: Twins Manage to Wrap up Sweep of Tribe

9 - 22 - 10     at Minnesota     L, 5 - 1     62 - 90

     Less than 24 hours removed from capturing the division title, the Minnesota Twins did not seem all that interested in defeating the Indians.  The fact that Ron Gardenhire rested several of his regulars proves that point quite convincingly.  However, the Twins still managed to beat up on the Tribe in the series finale.
     Cleveland plated their only run of the afternoon in the game's 1st inning.  Drew Sutton worked a walk and Travis Hafner's two - out single legitimized the threat.  The next batter, Shelley Duncan, hit a single back up the middle, scoring Sutton.
     Through five frames, that 1 - 0 lead appeared to be sufficient thanks to the brilliant pitching of Carlos Carrasco.  Carrasco, though, began to tire in the 6th, and Minnesota jumped all over him.  The Twins produced three consecutive two - out RBI hits, a Jose Morales double, a Matt Tolbert double, and a Ben Revere single, to grab a 3 - 1 advantage.
     In the 7th, the Twinkies tacked on two more insurance runs for their starter, Nick Blackburn, and they coasted to the victory.
