Triston McKenzie tossed five scoreless innings in his injury-delayed season debut, and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Minnesota Twins 2-1 for a split of the four-game series.
— Triston McKenzie eased right back into the rotation, hopeful that he can be part of an early summer spark for the lagging Cleveland Guardians.
Twins starter Joe Ryan was just as sharp as McKenzie until José Ramírez drew a two-out, full-count walk in the seventh. Naylor followed with a drive off the limestone facade that juts out over the right-field wall, putting the Guardians, who are last in the major leagues in home runs, on the board.Willi Castro led off the eighth with a homer for the Twins against Enyel De Los Santos. Taylor, who went 3 for 3 with two stolen bases, hit a two-out double.
“I hadn’t really seen a slider like his before. It was pretty good. He has that curveball. He didn’t miss many spots today," Twins shortstop Kyle Farmer said. “That’s the best I’ve seen him in a while.” Emmanuel Clase posted his MLB-best 19th save with a scoreless ninth inning. He has 14 career saves against the Twins, his most against any opponent. Clase issued a two-out walk to Ryan Jeffers and surrendered a single to Farmer before striking out Castro to end the game.
