Comment on Twins can't get big hit in 8-2 loss to Indians

Twins can't get big hit in 8-2 loss to Indians

Santana hit a no-doubt solo shot to right field in the fifth to put the Indians up 4-1. Twins starter Yohan Pino (1-3) was sent to Triple-A Rochester after his July 10 start largely to remain on somewhat of a routine during the All-Star break. Cleveland closer Cody Allen struck out pinch-hitter Chris Parmelee with a runner on third in a two-run game in the eighth inning before Cleveland scored four times in the ninth off Twins right-hander Matt Guerrier. "When you get behind guys it's tough to battle back and make quality pitches when you're just trying to get a strike," said Guerrier, who gave up four hits and a pair of walks in the ninth. Making his first appearance in the majors since May 15, Salazar (2-4) scattered six hits and allowed one earned run in five-plus innings. After eight starts with the Indians, Salazar was sent to Triple-A Columbus to work on his mechanics and build up arm strength to last deeper into games. Salazar issued three straight walks to load the bases with one out in the bottom of the inning, before striking out Sam Fuld and Danny Santana.
