Edwin Encarnacion gave Cleveland a 1-0 lead with a solo home run in the top of the 14th inning off of Twins reliever Trevor Hildenberger. However, the lead would prove to be short-lived, as Minnesota third baseman Miguel Sano blasted a solo home run to tie the game in the bottom of the inning.

Ryan LaMarre's single up the middle in the bottom of the 16th inning scored Eddie Rosario and gave the Twins the win.
