Twins Continue Hot Streak, Make History in Win Against Guardians
The three-game series between the Cleveland Guardians and the Minnesota Twins has been a strange one, to say the least. In a make-up game delayed from the night of Monday, May 19, due to inclement weather, the Guardians and Twins resumed the same game on Wednesday.

With all of this being said, the conclusion of the first make-up game had an exciting ending with some history that was made.

In a tie game that headed into the ninth inning, Twins' second baseman Kody Clemens hit a double into center field that brought pinch-runner Ryan Fitzgerald home from second.

Just a month ago, Minnesota had a record of 7-15 and were struggling to put wins together. Even without stars Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton, the Twins have gone 19-6 over their last 25 games and climbed to second place in the AL Central, trailing only the MLB-best Detroit Tigers. Although there's a lot of season left, it seems that the Twins have found their rhythm and will look to continue to win games.
