Guardians Edge Twins 5-4 in Extra Innings

The Minnesota Twins suffered a disappointing 5-4 loss to the Cleveland Guardians in a ten-inning game, marking their third loss in four games against the division rivals. Despite Carlos Correa's strong performance with four RBIs, including a two-run single in the 10th, the Twins were unable to hold onto their lead as the Guardians rallied back with key hits from Josh Naylor and Brayan Rocchio. Naylor's two solo home runs and Rocchio's walk-off single sealed the victory for Cleveland, who now maintain a six-game lead in the AL Central. Simeon Woods Richardson pitched well for Minnesota, allowing just one earned run over 4.2 innings, but did not factor into the decision. The defeat places the Twins precariously in the race for the final AL wild-card spot, with postseason hopes dimming. The Guardians continue to solidify their playoff position, improving to 13-7 since late August.
