Kennys Vargas homered and sparked rallies with two other hits, leading the Minnesota Twins past Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians 4-1 Thursday.

Phil Hughes struck out eight over seven innings to forge a four-way tie for the American League lead in victories(14), with Rick Porcello, Max Scherzer and Scott Kazmir.

Trevor Plouffe put the Twins back in front with a two-run double in the sixth.

Kluber had his winning streak stopped at six, despite eight strikeouts over seven innings.

Rookie Zach Walters homered for the third straight game for the Indians, who missed out on their first sweep of a road series this season and fell six games behind Kansas City in the AL Central.
