Adrian Beltre’s 450th home run could not have come at a better time, as the third baseman’s solo shot off Indians closer Cody Allen in the top of the ninth proved to be the difference in the Rangers’ 2-1 win on Tuesday at Progressive Field.

Reds beat Brewers 8-6
A power surge struck Great American Ball Park on Tuesday night, as the Reds and Brewers combined for seven home runs over the game’s first five innings.

Twins beat Indians 4-0 to earn sweep
Ervin Santana did not have the chance to face the Indians the last time the Twins ran into their division rival.

Reds beat Nationals 6-2
The Reds entered Sunday with just one win in their past 13 contests, largely due to their struggling rotation. During that stretch, Cincinnati starters were 0-8 with an 8.49 ERA.

Indians down Twins 5-2 to earn 4-game sweep
The Indians arrived at Target Field this weekend with a chance to begin seizing control of the American League Central.
