Nelson Cruz hit his 16th homer, and the Twins beat the Indians 7-5 on Sunday to complete a sweep of their weekend series. Marwin Gonzalez, Ryan Jeffers and Josh Donaldson also went deep, helping Minnesota win for the 10th time in 12 games. Indians rookie Triston McKenzie (2-1) struggled for the first time in his fifth career start. McKenzie gave up five runs in 4 1/3 innings, despite surrendering just three hits. He struck out seven, issued one walk and hit a batter. Cesar Hernandez and Carlos Santana each had three hits, but the Indians dropped their sixth straight game. The Indians are off today. Carlos Carrasco (2-4, 3.12 ERA) will start Tuesday as the Tribe opens a two-game road series against the Cubs, who are scheduled to start RHP Yu Darvish (7-2, 1.77 ERA).
