MLB ROUNDUP: Brennan’s Walk-Off Homer Lifts Guardians Over Twins
Trending
CLEVELAND ( AP) -- Will Brennan hit a three-run homer off Jhoan Duran with two outs in a wild ninth inning, giving Cleveland a victory over Minnesota.
The inning appeared to be over one batter earlier when Andres Gimenez was called out at second while advancing on a wild pitch, but a crew-chief initiated video review ruled him safe. Josh Naylor was intentionally walked for Duran (0-2) to face Brennan.
Minnesota had trailed 2-1 with two outs and no one on base in the ninth, but pushed across the tying run without a hit against All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase (3-1).
Ryan Jeffers was hit by a pitch, Willi Castro reached on a fielder's choice, and pinch runner Byron Buxton came around from second when Clase dropped a throw from Naylor on a potential game-ending grounder to first by Alex Kirilloff.
Gimenez hit a two-run homer in the first as the AL Central-leading Guardians swept Minnesota in a series for the second time this season. Cleveland outscored the Twins 19-8 in the three-game set at Progressive Field.
