The Twins were one strike away victory earlier in the inning when Bo Naylor smacked a double off the wall in right field off Jhoan Duran, bringing home a pair of runs. The inning had started with Joe Ryan, who was on the mound when the game resumed, allowing a double and a walk before making way for Duran.

Cleveland mounted its comeback trailing by three in the ninth. José Ramírez belted a leadoff double off the wall in right center, extending his hitting streak to 13 games. Ramírez moved to third on a fielder‘s choice ground out by Carlos Santana and scored on a Nolan Jones RBI single to left off Duran.

Clemens has eight extra-base hits and 10 RBIs in just 41 plate appearances since the Twins acquired him from the Phillies on April 26.
