CLEVELAND -- Through two batters on Wednesday night, Cody Allen did not looked fixed, but the Tribe's late-inning reliever was surviving. Working in the seventh inning against the Twins, Allen created a flyout off the bat of Willians Astudillo and then followed that up with a strikeout against Joe Mauer.
Then, Allen's season-long struggles returned in swift and damaging fashion.
In a 4-3 loss to the Twins at Progressive Field, Allen allowed the game's decisive runs in a four-batter stretch with two outs that put his issues on full display.
