Jakob Junis started the fourth for the Guardians and gave up a leadoff single to Larnach.

Clemens scored with a head-first slide on a sacrifice fly to right by Bader to extend the lead to 4-2.
The Twins began the eighth with consecutive singles before Bader dropped a one-out RBI single into left to make it 5-2.
