Jason Kubel had a two-run double in the seventh inning that lifted the Twins to a 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday, Minnesotas third straight win after a putrid start. Carl Pavano (2-2) gave up three runs on six hits in seven innings and Justin Morneau added two hits and two RBIs for the Twins, who took both games of the rain-shortened series to win their first series of the season. Joe Mauer (leg weakness), Tsuyoshi Nishioka (broken leg) and Delmon Young (ribs) are still out with injuries, but the Twins have won five of their last seven games after a 4-10 start. "We needed some wins, absolutely," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "You still try to stay on an even keel as much as you possibly can, figure out whats right and wrong and try to work your way through it." Right-fielder Shin-Soo Choo kept the Indians in it by throwing two Twins out at the plate in the third inning. Michael Brantley hit what appeared to be a three-run homer in the fourth, but it was overturned on review and he was given a two-run double. Rafael Perez (2-1) took the loss after giving up an unearned run on the double by Kubel and Matt Capps picked up his fourth save in five tries for the Twins.

They scored 10 runs on Saturday to beat Cleveland, then pounded out 10 more hits Sunday for the mini-sweep. "These guys have been playing really well," Kubel said of the first-place Indians. "Its not a big series if you look in the long run, but its a big series for now and we got that first one out of the way. Hopefully we can just keep rolling."

Casilla ran right through third-base coach Steve Liddles stop sign and Choo, who led the league in outfield assists last year, threw him out by 5 feet. Morneau followed with a two-run double, and Carrasco was again on his heels. Michael Cuddyer then delivered a soft single to shallow right and Liddle first waved Morneau home before putting up a stop sign when Morneau was halfway down the line. Choos throw easily beat Morneau to the plate to end the inning. "If he wins a Gold Glove, well probably have Steve hand it out," Gardenhire quipped. The Indians came back with three runs in the top of the fourth. But Brantley was called back out of the dugout when umpires ruled that his hit bounced off the corner of the limestone facade in right field and caromed back into the ballpark. If it had hit the top of the wall, it would have been ruled a home run. "They made the right call," Brantley said. "I watched the replay two innings later and it definitely wasnt a home run, it hit the corner of the wall and came back. It was unlucky for us, but thats the way the game goes." Pavano got Jack Hannahan to pop out to centre field and struck out Sizemore to strand Brantley at second base and escape trailing by just one run, 3-2. "Saved us a run and we got a win, so thats even better," Pavano said. Notes: The Indians now head home, where they have won seven in a row for the first time since 2007.
