 Cleveland has won seven of the 13 matchups between these teams this season, though Minnesota has outscored Cleveland by one run, 54-53. The Twins currently lead the division by 6.5 games over the Indians, and are 15-5 over their last 20 games.

 The Indians are guaranteed their seventh consecutive season finishing at .500 or better; the only American League team with a longer-active streak of .500 or better seasons is the Yankees (27 straight).

 Since the start of this decade (2010), Nelson Cruz has hit more home runs (340) than any other player in baseball. Cruz has recorded 2750 total bases this decade, second behind Robinson Cano (2775).

 Franmil Reyes reached 50 career home runs with a homer over the White Sox on Wednesday. Reyes has 99 RBI in his career -- he is the 2nd player all-time to reach 50 home runs before reaching 100 RBI, along with Joey Gallo.

 Since June 13, Michael Pineda has a 3.08 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP over 13 starts. Pineda tossed four scoreless innings in his only start against Cleveland this season on March 31, a start that was his first since recovering from Tommy John surgery.

 Since the start of this decade, Carlos Santana has hit 230 home runs and drawn 934 walks. The only other player since 2010 with 200+ HR and 900+ walks is Joey Votto (230 HR and 1031 BB).

The Cleveland Indians won three of four from the Minnesota Twins at Target Field last month to briefly move into a tie atop the American League Central.
The Indians have since dropped 13 of their next 23 contests to lose ground on the surging Twins heading into Friday's opener of a three-game series in Minneapolis.

Slumping Indians hope to right ship in Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)  Following a 13th defeat in 22 games, Cleveland manager Terry Francona decided to deliver a brief pep talk before taking the road for a pivotal series in Minnesota.
With time running out in this race, the Indians responded to the skipper's address and took one back from the first-place Twins.
