CLEVELAND – The difference between six and a half games and eight and a half games on paper may be just two games, but mentally it seems like a lot more.
That’s what was at stake Sunday at Progressive Field for the Indians against the first-place Minnesota Twins, and thanks to a clutch hit by Carlos Santana in the 7th inning, the team avoided a bigger deficit than what they started the day with.
Santana’s two-out, two-strike homer was the difference as the Indians pulled out a much needed 4-3 win over the Twins, and will enter play Monday 6.
