Eddie Rosario hit his third homer of the game, launching a two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Twins over the Cleveland Indians 7-5 Sunday.

Rosario became the first Twins player to have a pair of three-homer games. He also hit three home runs last June 13 at home against the Mariners. Harmon Killebrew and Tony Oliva are among the Twins who did it once.

Minnesota beat the AL Central-leading Indians for the third straight day.

Rosario, who began the day with 10 homers, hit a solo homer in the first inning and another solo home run in the seventh. Brian Dozier also homered for the Twins, whose struggling offense erupted for 29 runs in the four-game series.

Edwin Encarnacion hit two long home runs for Cleveland, and Michael Brantley’s solo shot off Addison Reed in the eighth tied it at 5.

Fernando Rodney (2-2) pitched a scoreless ninth to pick up the victory.
