Game Recap

Max Kepler hit the go-ahead home run in the bottom of the seventh inning, lifting the Minnesota Twins to a 4-2 victory over Cleveland in the second game of their August 17, 2017 doubleheader. His decisive blast made up for a fielding mistake Kepler had committed earlier in the top half of that inning. The win allowed the Twins to salvage a split of the twin bill.
