Game Notes

Danny Valencia, Twins steal one from the Indians 2-1.

Valencia's 2-run single caps a 9th inning rally and produces an emotional finish for Valencia and Cleveland closer Chris Perez. While Valencia celebrates with teammates on the field, his former University of Miami teammate takes aim on all targets in the Indians' dugout after blowing just his 2nd save in 24 chances.

After Justin Masterson shut down the Twins for 7 2/3 innings. But the Twins rally in the 9th after Joe Mauer walks with 1 out, and Michael Cuddyer follows with a double. Perez intentionally walks Jim Thome to face his childhood friend Valencia, who drops a bloop single into leftfield to score both runs.
