CLEVELAND (AP) — Austin Hedges scored on an error by shortstop Jermaine Palacios in the 15th inning and the AL Central-leading Guardians beat the Minnesota Twins for the eighth straight time, 7-6 to sweep a day-night doubleheader.
Amed Rosario, who went 8 for 13 with six RBIs in the twinbill, hit a sharp grounder that Palacios mishandled with two outs.
The ball skidded into the outfield, allowing Hedges to score from third and end the 5-hour, 24-minute marathon.
Cleveland, which has won nine of its last 10, opened a 4 1/2-game lead over the Chicago White Sox and is seven games ahead of the third-place Twins.
The Guardians won the opener 5-1.
