Thursday night the Indians looked to avoid the sweep by Minnesota. A light rain fell prior to first pitch but not enough to delay the game. 11,846 were in attendance at Progressive Field for the final game of the series.
Cal Quantrill was on the bump for the Tribe. The 26-year old was making his 19th start of the season, which is his most in a single season. Quantrill has been a solid piece to the Indians’ starting rotation. August was the best month of his career as he carried a 1.42 ERA.
The Twins struck first with a solo blast by Miguel Sano in the 2nd inning.
