 The Twins reached 40 wins in their 58th game of the season, the fewest games needed by the team to reach that total since moving to Minnesota in 1961. The only other time the franchise won 40 of its first 58 games of a season was in 1931, when the team was known as the Washington Senators.

 The Indians lost three of four games against the White Sox to fall one game below .500. Cleveland is now 11.5 games behind the Twins in the AL Central, the team's largest deficit within their division since trailing the Royals by 12.0 games on June 28, 2015.

 The Twins won two of three games when these teams met for their opening series of the season. In that series, Minnesota held Cleveland to a .133 batting average while striking out 37 batters in 27.0 innings.

 Minnesota's catchers have combined to put up MLB-leading stats in a variety of categories, including batting average (.312), slugging percentage (.639), home runs (17), RBI (44) and runs scored (49) -- all stats as catcher only.

 In 30 career starts, Shane Bieber has recorded exactly 200 strikeouts (in starts only). The only other Indians pitchers in the live-ball era with at least 200 strikeouts in their first 30 career MLB starts are Herb Score (218) and Bob Feller (239).

 In 36 career games at Progressive Field, Eddie Rosario has a .647 slugging percentage. The only players all-time with higher slugging percentages at the park are Albert Belle (.681) and Juan Gonzalez (.657) (min. 100 PA at Progressive Field).

HP - Ortiz, 1B - Nelson, 2B - Blaser, 3B - Diaz
