Some extras from Fireworks Night to open the second half:
The Indians' took their first lead of the game thanks to a couple of Twins mistakes: A Miguel Sano error and Brian Dozier's split-second hesitation.
After Ervin Santana walked Francisco Lindor to open the fourth inning, Mike Napoli hit a chopper to third base that Sano grabbed and threw wide of first base, his fifth error in seven games. Jose Ramirez drove home Lindor with a single, and Napoli moved to third.
Dozier thought he was ready for what happened next.
"Anytime there's not a very speedy runner at third, [in a] close ballgame like that, I always cheat in about a step," Dozier said. "And if the ball's hit right at me, I always have the split decision to make."
Lonnie Chisenhall hit the ball right at him, and Dozier's decision was … go home! No, turn two!
It was only a moment, but it mattered. Dozier threw to Eduardo Nunez at second base, but Nunez bounced the relay to first, and Joe Mauer couldn't scoop it up. Chisenhall may have been safe anyway.
"Right when it was hit, I was going to go home. But [then I] decided to turn two," Dozier said. "We've got to turn that double play."
