The Twins took three of four from the Indians in their first meeting of the season from July 30-Aug. 2, limiting Cleveland to four runs in the series. It was the fewest runs Minnesota permitted in a four-game series since yielding four to the Boston Red Sox from July 5-7, 1965, and the fewest runs the Indians scored over a four-game set since plating four versus the New York Yankees from June 30-July 2, 1972.

The Twins are 10th in MLB in runs scored with 140, but have plated a major league-best 87 runs in innings 1-4. They have an MLB-best .860 OPS through the first four innings. From the fifth inning on, their OPS drops to .629 - fifth worst in the majors.

Miguel Sano had two more doubles in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Royals, giving him eight doubles in his last seven games. The only other Twin to have at least eight doubles in a seven-game span since 2000 was Joe Mauer, who had nine from May 6-12, 2013.

Kenta Maeda is making his first start Monday since taking a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Brewers on Tuesday. Maeda, who tossed six shutout innings against Cleveland on Aug. 1, has allowed eight runs in 31 2/3 innings - the first Twins pitcher to permit eight or fewer runs in at least 30 innings in his first five games for Minnesota since Bill Krueger (7 runs, 31 1/3 IP) from April 9-May 2, 1992.

The Indians' top five batters in their lineup are hitting .246 - 21st in the majors. The production from the bottom of the order drops off significantly, as the six through nine hitters are batting a major league-worst .154.

Franmil Reyes has a 1.136 OPS with runners on base but just a .595 OPS with none on. That difference in OPS with runners on base to nobody on of .541 is the fourth biggest drop-off by a qualifying batter in the AL.

HP - Segal, 1B - Gonzalez, 2B - Tosi, 3B - Kulpa

The Minnesota Twins have homered eight times on their way to winning four of the five meetings against the Cleveland Indians this season.
The Twins may have a tougher time at the plate on Tuesday when they encounter right-hander Shane Bieber (5-0, 1.11 ERA), who regularly has kept them under wraps throughout his career.

Indians' Bieber looks to defuse Twins' power

CLEVELAND (AP)  His face contorted by emotion, Francisco Lindor looked toward Cleveland's dugout and released a scream that had seemingly been building for weeks.
''Let's Go!'' Lindor yelled in Spanish after connecting for a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning.
