MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- The baseball was flying out of Target Field on Friday night, with the Indians and Twins combining for 15 total runs. Luis Arraez roped a go-ahead 2-RBI double on a sharp fly ball to left field in the home half of the 6th inning. Tribe corner outfielder Josh Naylor sent out a solo shot in the 9th inning to make things interesting, but the Indians ultimately fell short by the final score of 8-7.

The Cleveland Indians launched four home runs in a tight one-run loss to the divisional rival Twins. Amed Rosario got the home run party going on his first at-bat in the first inning, and was followed by home runs off the bats of Bobby Bradley, Eddie Rosario, and Josh Naylor later in the game.

Tribe starter Cal Quantrill was haunted by bad fielding behind him, with Arraez legging out two triples that very well could've been ruled errors. Quantrill ended the day with a final line of 6 earned runs on 6 hits, striking out 2 batters while walking 1.

The Indians and Twins will square off on Saturday afternoon for game three of the four game set. First pitch is set for 2:10 pm ET at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
