Sano’s Slam Sinks Indians as Twins Again Top Tribe 9-5

With one swing of the bat – the work that the Indians did all season long to get back in the AL Central race seemingly went away.

The hit was a moonshot 415-foot homer by Miguel Sano that all put clinched the AL Central for Minnesota in a crushing 915 win over the Indians.

The victory was the second in hours for the Twins, as they extended their lead over the Tribe with two wins in a doubleheader to now 5.5 games with 15 left.

The homer came off an Indians pen that has suffered over the last two months, deflating the season.
