 The Twins have spent 95 days in first place in the AL Central this season, the second-most games any team has lead their division (Dodgers -- 100 days).

 Cleveland and Minnesota last played each other in a three-game series starting on June 4. Since the beginning of that series, Cleveland has shaved six games off Minnesota's AL Central lead, going from 11.5 games back to 5.5 games back.

 The Twins became the first team all-time with 10 players with 10+ home runs at the All-Star break -- no other team has had more than eight. As a team, Minnesota's 166 home runs this season are the most all-time by any team prior to the All-Star break.

 Roberto Perez ranks third among primary catchers this season with a .527 slugging percentage, trailing Willson Contreras (.556) and Gary Sanchez (.556; min. 200 PA). Perez has averaged a home run every 12.69 at-bats this season, after having a 38.95 AB/HR ratio over his first five MLB seasons.

 Max Kepler (21) and Eddie Rosario (20) became the first pair of Twins teammates with 20+ home runs at the All-Star break in the same year since 1964, when Harmon Killebrew (30) and Bob Allison (21) did so.

 Mike Clevinger has pitched around injuries this season, making five starts and striking out 40 batters in 24.1 innings (14.79 SO/9 IP). In 18 career starts against Cleveland, Kyle Gibson is 3-9 with a 5.46 ERA. Gibson has lost each of his last three outings against Cleveland, though he received just two combined runs of support over those starts.

The Cleveland Indians have won 21 of their last 29 contests to shave six games off their sizable deficit in the American League Central and keep the heat on the first-place Minnesota Twins.
The Indians vie to turn up the temperature even more on Friday when they carry a season-high six-game winning streak into the opener of their three-game series versus the visiting Twins.

Indians look to cut into Twins' division lead

CLEVELAND (AP)  The Twins returned from the All-Star break and pumped the brakes on the Indians.
Slowing Cleveland's charge in the standings, Jorge Polanco's two-run double in the seventh inning rallied the AL Central leaders to a 5-3 victory Friday night that ended the Indians' six-game winning streak in the opener of a showdown series.
