MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. --- Chris Gimenez came off the bench to drive in a pair of runs and Josh Tomlin scattered six hits while allowing just one run over 7 2/3 innings as the Cleveland Indians took the rubber match of the weekend's three-game set with a 6-1 win over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.

Gimenez delivered a two-out, two-run single in his first plate appearance of the day as Cleveland made the most of a pair of costly sixth-inning Twins mistakes to extend a 2-0 lead into a 4-0 cushion.

Tomlin overcame a bit of a slow start in allowing five base runners through two-plus innings of work. But after walking Robbie Grossman to lead off the third, he retired the next 11 Minnesota batters before Max Kepler hit his ninth home run of the season with two outs in the sixth.

The victory, Tomlin's 10th of the season, comes following a previous start in which he allowed a career-high eight runs in a 12-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers on July 6. Tomlin (10-2) struck out four and walked just one Sunday.

Leading 1-0 in the fifth, Cleveland strung together three straight two-out singles by Carlos Santana, Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor to ultimately drive in Santana to double its lead.

After stranding 14 runners on Saturday, Minnesota left four runners on in the first two innings, failing to plate anyone with two outs in the first and again with one out in the second. Sandwiched in between was Mike Napoli's home run to the second deck in left field to lead off the second to put the Indians on the board first.

Tyler Naquin and Kipnis added solo home runs off of Twins reliever Neil Ramirez in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively, to complete the scoring.

NOTES: The Indians placed RHP Tommy Hunter on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 10, with a non-baseball related injury. It's the second stint on the disabled list in 2016 for Hunter, who has posted a 2-2 mark with a 3.74 ERA in 21 relief appearances. To fill Hunter's roster spot, Cleveland recalled RHP Cody Anderson from Triple-A Columbus. In four previous stints with the Indians in 2016, Anderson is 1-4 with a 7.48 ERA in nine games (eight starts). ... Minnesota inducted legendary radio voice John Gordon into its Hall of Fame prior to Sunday's game. Gordon played fictional Twins broadcaster Wally Holland in the 1994 movie "Little Big League". ... Sunday marked the 26th anniversary of the Twins becoming the first team in baseball history to turn two triple plays in the same game in a 1-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox.
