CLEVELAND, Ohio When they reached the post-game Zoom room Monday night at Progressive Field, Jordan Luplow and Josh Naylor gave a shout-out to their teammate Zach Plesac.
They’d seen the hard work Plesac did following his last two starts. He was looking for answers after the White Sox worked him over for 12 earned runs on 14 hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Luplow was the man of the hour, hitting a 10th inning walk-off homer to give the Indians a 5-3 win over the Twins. But he wanted to say something about Plesac before talking about himself.
It was the first of 19 meetings this season between teams that have combined to win the last five AL Central titles. Minnesota is the two-time defending champion.
Luis Arraez gave the Twins a 3-2 lead in the eighth when he singled home Jake Cave with two outs, but José Ramírez answered in the bottom half with a homer off Tyler Duffey.
ANGELS 9, RANGERS 4
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Shohei Ohtani struck out nine after a shaky first inning on the mound, and also scored three runs and drove in two in a start like none since Babe Ruth 100 years earlier, as Los Angeles beat Texas.

Eddie Rosario insists that he isn t upset about the Twins decision not to bring him back for the 2021 season following six years with the only organization he d ever known as a professional. More than anything, he saw it as a challenge to continue to show teams that he s got what it takes to be an everyday player.
He is sad, though, that he wasn t able to hear that Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! chant rain down from the fans at Target Field one last time. That s the hard part, Rosario said. You could notice the support they gave me every time I played there, every time I came up for an at-bat, a special at-bat, with the drive that they gave me, that energy. So it s hard.
