 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.

Jorge Polanco has been making himself at home in Cleveland.
Polanco aims to cap a strong week at Progressive Field on Saturday as the visiting Minnesota Twins vie for a series victory over the Indians.

Polanco, Twins aim to separate from Indians

CLEVELAND (AP)  Max Kepler owns Trevor Bauer at the moment. And unless something changes, the AL Central will soon belong to the Twins.
Kepler hit two more home runs off Bauer, Jake Cave drove in three runs and Minnesota tightened its grip on the division with a 6-2 win Saturday night over the Cleveland Indians, who have slipped two games further back this weekend.
