Indians win in extra innings


MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ryan Garko drove in the go-ahead run for the second straight game, blooping a soft single that sent the Cleveland Indians to a 7-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night.

Travis Hafner, who matched his career high with four hits, started the 12th with a walk against Jesse Crain (0-1). Jason Michaels followed Garko’s hit with an RBI double, and Shin-Soo Choo added a two-run single off Joe Nathan with the bases loaded to break it open. It took the Twins seven batters to get an out in the inning.

Roberto Hernandez (2-1) picked up the victory with three scoreless innings, highlighting an excellent night by the Cleveland bullpen.
