On a muggy night more fitting for July or August, Torii Hunter did his best youthful impersonation for the Twins, and behind his four RBIs, the Twins sunk the Indians 9-3. Hunter finished the game 4-4 and was just a triple short of the cycle. The Twins were in control for most of the game thanks in part to Mike Pelfrey. Pelfrey pitched 7.0 innings, allowing six hits and two walks, but overcame the baserunners thanks to inducing 14 ground ball outs.
Trevor Bauer took the mound to start the game for the Wahoos and was hit hard.
