Byron Buxton's RBI double in the 11th inning gave the Minnesota Twins a 2-1 win over the host Cleveland Guardians on Saturday night as each team managed only two hits.

The game's start was delayed two hours and 6 minutes by rain.

Buxton had both of the Twins' hits as he led off the game with a home run. His double in the top of the 11th was the game-winner, scoring automatic runner Matt Wallner from third to snap Minnesota's three-game losing streak.

The Twins escaped bases-loaded, one-out situations for the Guardians in the bottom of the ninth and 10th innings.

Cleveland had its three-game winning streak ended.

Minnesota reliever Eric Orze (1-1) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings, and Luis Garcia worked the 11th for his first save.

Guardians right-hander Peyton Pallette (1-2) allowed one run on one hit and one walk with three strikeouts in two innings.

Both starters were outstanding.

Cleveland's Tanner Bibee allowed a run on one hit -- Buxton's homer -- in six innings with two walks and a season-high nine strikeouts. His run of retiring 10 straight batters was snapped by a walk to Luke Keaschall with two outs in the fourth.

The Twins' Joe Ryan gave up a run and two hits in six innings with three walks and five strikeouts.

Kyle Manzardo's RBI single tied the game 1-1 in the fourth for Cleveland. Jose Ramirez, who got the first hit off of Ryan with one out and stole second, scored on the play.

Ryan worked his way out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam later in the inning by striking out Angel Martinez and Austin Hedges.

Buxton's homer was his 13th this season as he took Bibee's 1-1 cutter over the wall in left.

The Twins placed starting pitcher Taj Bailey (4-1, 2.87) on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 6, with pec muscle inflammation. Minnesota also recalled RHP Travis Adams from Triple-A St. Paul.

The Guardians acquired catcher Patrick Bailey from the San Francisco Giants for left-handed pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson and Cleveland's Competitive Balance Round A pick (29th overall) in the 2026 draft and sent catcher Bo Naylor to Triple-A Columbus.
