MINNEAPOLIS: Joe Mauer’s single off Joe Colon scored Brian Dozier from second in the 12th inning to lift the Minnesota Twins over the Indians 2-1 on Saturday night.
Dozier hit a two-out single and advanced to second when Colon (1-1) was called for a balk by home plate umpire Vic Carapazza. That set up Mauer for his first hit of the long night, a sharp liner into right-center that allowed Dozier to score easily.
J.T. Chargois (1-1) pitched a perfect 12th for his first major league victory, and the Indians failed to add to their six-game lead over Detroit in the AL Central.
