Max Kepler homered three times and José Berríos locked up Cleveland’s lineup into the seventh inning as the Minnesota Twins avoided a sweep _ and their first three-game losing streak _ by beating the Indians 5-4.
Kepler, who entered hitless in his previous 21 at-bats, connected in the first, third and seventh innings off Indians starter Trevor Bauer. Roberto Pérez homered for Cleveland.
It is Kepler’s second career three-homer game. He also had one against the Indians on Aug. 1, 2016.
No Minnesota player has ever homered four times in a game.
