CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians, whose bullpen took another hit on Wednesday, will host the Minnesota Twins on Thursday afternoon in the finale of a three-game series. The teams have split the first two games of the series.
Cleveland will be without ace reliever Andrew Miller, who on Wednesday was placed on the disabled list for the third time this season, this time with a left shoulder impingement.

CLEVELAND (AP)  Jason Kipnis kept watching and hoping.
Kipnis' high drive barely cleared the right field wall for a three-run homer that broke a sixth-inning tie and sent the Cleveland Indians over the Minnesota Twins 5-3 on Thursday.
