CLEVELAND – The Indians got behind 4-2 to the Twins in the 6th inning after Minnesota did what they always seem to do, which is hit a couple homers to get back in the game.
This time though the Indians rallied, and led by Roberto Perez’s 23rd homer of the year, a three-run shot, the team was able to overcome, topping Minnesota 7-5 at Progressive Field.
The win puts them back to 4.5 behind the Twins in the division with now 12 games left starting with the Tigers on Tuesday night.
The team still is on the outside looking in at a wild card spot, but now every game is basically a must-win the way that both Tampa and Oakland have been playing.
