Twins end five-game skid as Torii Hunter homers in ninth

CLEVELAND -- Torii Hunter wasn't pleased with the way his Twins team responded to the challenge in a four-game series sweep at Toronto.

Friday night, he made sure they got back up off the deck in a 10-9 win over the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field.

The 40-year-old right fielder went 3 for 5 and drove in three runs, including the go-ahead home run off right-hander Bryan Shaw in the top of the ninth, to snap a five-game losing streak.

The wild win kept the Twins (55-54) from falling below .500 for the first time since they were 11-12 on May 1.
