Twins drop 4th straight

The Minnesota Twins are trying to stop a skid after falling to Cleveland, 5-2, on Tuesday. Ryan Jeffers gave Minnesota an early spark with a first-inning homer, but the Twins managed only six hits and went hitless with runners in scoring position. Cleveland took control late, handing Minnesota its fourth straight loss and pushing the Twins to five games back in the American League Central race. The series continues today in Cleveland, with Minnesota needing a response before the losing streak gets away from them. Sources: ESPN and Twinkie Town.
