Cleveland has won 10 of the last 15 games in this series, although the clubs have split their last four meetings in Minnesota.

The Indians have hit just four home runs all season, which is tied with the Cardinals for the second fewest in the majors (Mil -- 3), but all four of them have come on the road. Cleveland has hit at least one homer in five of its last since road games against the Twins.

Minnesota trailed Kansas City 2-0 entering the bottom half of the second inning on Thursday, but rallied for an 8-5 win. The victory was the first of the season for the Twins when their opponent scored first (1-4).

David Murphy is 11-for-25 (.440) at the plate in his last eight games against Minnesota, with five of those 11 total hits being doubles. Prior to these eight contests, Murphy was hitting .227 against the Twins for his career.

Corey Kluber has thrown at least 6.0 innings while allowing no more than two runs in each of his last seven starts (5-1, 1.50 ERA). The last Cleveland pitcher to go 6+ innings while allowing no more than two runs in eight consecutive starts was CC Sabathia, August 3-September 8, 2007 (streak not broken by any relief appearances).

Mike Pelfrey's outing against the White Sox on April 11 was his first major-league appearance since last May 1, as he missed the majority of the 2014 season with a groin injury. Pelfrey has not won a game in the majors since August 20, 2013, going 0-6 with a 6.45 (43/60.0) ERA over his last 12 appearances (all starts); that 12-start winless streak is tied for the second-longest active one in the majors (Erasmo Ramirez, Sea-TB -- 14; streak not broken by any relief appearances).
