Playing for the 1st time this season with the knowledge that they could not possibly reach the postseason, the Indians produced 10 runs and 14 hits as they battered the Twins.
Travis Hafner's 2-out, 2-run single in the 1st pushed the Tribe into an early lead, but that was simply the beginning of the offensive barrage.
In the 2nd, Trevor Crowe lined a RBI single to center field, Jason Kipnis drilled a 2-run triple to right-center, Carlos Santana blasted a 2-run homer to right-center, and Matt LaPorta ripped a RBI double to right. When the dust finally settled, the Indians had an 8-0 cushion.
That 6-run 2nd knocked Anthony Swarzak out of the game. Swarzak only recorded 5 outs, and he allowed 7 runs.
Jeanmar Gomez, the winning pitcher, tossed 6 2/3 innings of 2-run baseball before suffering a minor leg injury.
