CLEVELAND — Brayan Rocchio singled in Andrés Giménez with the winning run as the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians scored three times in the 10th inning to beat the Minnesota Twins 5-4. The Guardians reduced their magic number for clinching a playoff berth to one. Kyle Manzardo and Will Brennan both had RBI singles off Ronny Henriquez before Michael Tonkin entered and gave up Rocchio's second career walk-off hit, a chopper to right through a drawn-in infield. Carlos Correa had a two-run single off Hunter Gaddis that gave the Twins a 4-2 advantage in the top of the 10th.
