Minnesota Twins 2 – 5 Cleveland Guardians

MLB · July 21, 2026 · Final
🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Cleveland Guardians took down the Minnesota Twins tonight, five to two, and it wasn't particularly close once the middle innings arrived.

Minnesota actually drew first blood — Ryan Jeffers got them going in the first with a four-hundred-and-two-foot shot to left, and the Twins looked like they might have something early. But Cleveland answered immediately in the third. Steven Kwan doubled to center to score Hedges, then Brayan Rocchio singled to right and Kwan came around to score, and just like that the Guardians had flipped it.

Minnesota tied it back up in the fourth on a messy play — a fielding error by pitcher Messick, a throwing error by second baseman Bazzana, and Bell came around to score. Two errors on one play, and suddenly it's two-all. That was the last time the Twins would see level ground.

Cleveland took the lead for good in the sixth. Hedges hit a sacrifice fly to make it three-two, and then Halpin added another sac fly — a call that was initially ruled out before a challenge overturned it — and the Guardians were up four to two. Bazzana iced it in the seventh with a single to left that scored Manzardo and made it five to two.

Rocchio finished two for four with an RBI, Kwan reached base three times, and Jeffers' home run was ultimately the only real punch Minnesota landed.

The Guardians controlled the middle of this game and never gave it back. That's your post-game report. Sports Desk, signing off.
