Indians pitchers had trouble keeping the ball in the park, but Marlon Byrd and the offense rallied in the bottom of the eighth for a 7-6 come-from-behind win Friday night.
All of the Twins’ five runs came via four home runs. In the eighth, the Twins jumped ahead and the Indians answered.
In the top of the eighth, Twins shortstop Eduardo Nunez delivered a go-ahead, solo home run off of Bryan Shaw to put the Twins up 5-4. Shaw then ran into trouble, loading the bases with one out. Zach McAllister entered and struck out both batters he faced to keep it a one-run game heading to the bottom of the eighth.
