MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Alan Roden<\/a> hit a game-winning RBI single in the ninth inning as the Minnesota Twins<\/a> beat Cleveland 6-5 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight win over the Guardians. <\/p>\n

The Twins have won four in a row and five of six overall. <\/p>\n

Roden singled twice and drove in two runs. Kody Clemens<\/a> went 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI, and Brooks Lee<\/a> singled twice and drove in a pair of runs. <\/p>\n

Yoendrys G\u00f3mez (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for his first win this season. <\/p>\n

Brayan Rocchio<\/a> and Rhys Hoskins<\/a> homered for the Guardians.<\/p>\n

Chase DeLauter<\/a> singled to lead off the fourth before Rocchio hit a 401-foot homer off Twins starter Connor Prielipp<\/a>. Hoskins followed with a solo shot, his second straight game with a homer.<\/p>\n

But, the Twins answered in the bottom half of the inning.<\/p>\n

Keaschall and Ryan Kreidler<\/a> walked before Erik Sabrowski<\/a> replaced Shawn Armstrong<\/a> with one out in the bottom half.
