Returning home didn't help the Cleveland offense immediately, and the Minnesota Twins' Max Kepler keeps punishing the Guardians every time he comes to town.
Kepler's 440-foot rocket of a home run provided all the scoring in Minnesota's 2-0 victory on Friday during the opener of a three-game series between the American League Central rivals.Kepler, 30, now has 15 home runs and 33 RBIs in 48 games in Cleveland -- his highest power figures anywhere other than Minneapolis.
Cleveland manager Terry Francona said of Kepler, "You don't have to remind me about him. I feel like I've seen every one of . He's dangerous when you leave something over the plate. He's very dangerous." The Twins' Saturday starter, veteran right-hander Sonny Gray leads the majors in ERA. Minnesota starter Bailey Ober, who got the win on Friday, said Gray challenged his fellow Twins starters to go deeper into games during spring training. They have responded, going at least 5 1/3 innings 22 times this season -- tied for first in the majors.
He will be opposed on Saturday by Logan Allen . On Sunday, the left-hander became the second pitcher in Cleveland franchise history to strike out at least eight hitters in each of his first two major league starts, matching Herb Score's feat from 1955.
