The Twins, fresh from 5-1 homestand, knocked Williams out of the game almost before it began. Edourd Julien hit his first pitch of the night for a home run. It’s the third time in the last 10 days that a Guardians pitcher has started a game by allowing a first-pitch homer.

Bailey Ober allowed one run over 7 2/3 innings and Edouard Julien set the pace for Minnesota's big offensive night with a leadoff homer as the Twins won their fourth straight, 11-1 over the host Cleveland Guardians on Monday night.
