Jordan Luplow gifted fans the first walk-off win of Cleveland’s season in the bottom of the 10th inning to defeat the Minnesota Twins 5-3 tonight. The two-run shot into the left-field bleachers capped a comeback that crystallized when José Ramírez laced a forehand winner into the seats to tie it late.
Zach Plesac battled for 7.2 IP, allowing three runs on five hits before Bryan Shaw and Emmanuel Clase handled the final two-plus frames. While Plesac didn’t receive a win for his performance he certainly earned one for holding the line.
Cleveland played much of the game from behind.
