Emmanuel Rodriguez, Twins eye encore vs. Guardians

Emmanuel Rodriguez is chasing the next moment of his MLB breakthrough as the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Guardians play a high-stakes rubber match Sunday in Minneapolis. After Rodriguez hit a 420-foot home run in his debut, sparking a four-run third inning, Minnesota held on for a 4-3 win on Saturday. Cleveland, 75-74, trails the Chicago White Sox by 1½ games for first in the AL Central but still controls the third AL wild-card spot. The Guardians are expected to start Tanner Bibee, while Minnesota counters with right-hander Joe Ryan, who has lost his past four starts. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said the team needs more runs, not a new approach.
