 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).

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

The Cleveland Indians likely will receive a bit of clarity following the conclusion of Sunday afternoon's rubber match of their three-game series against the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis.
After all, a victory in the finale would move the Indians within 5 1/2 games of American League Central-leading Minnesota with a pivotal three-game set in Cleveland looming next weekend.

Running out of time, Indians get another shot at Twins

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)  Mike Clevinger and the Cleveland Indians gave the Minnesota Twins another reminder that winning their first division title in nine years won't be easy.
Clevinger won his 10th straight decision, and Carlos Santana and Francisco Lindor homered as the Indians beat the Twins 5-2 on Sunday.
