TWINS UPDATE

The Twins are 5-3 against the Indians this year, including 2-1 at Progressive Field. ... Diamond is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in two starts against Cleveland this year, including his first career shutout on July 27. ... Deduno held Cleveland to one run on two hits and five walks over seven innings on July 28, but this will be the first time an opponent gets a second look at him.

INDIANS UPDATE

The Twins sent Cleveland into this nine-game losing streak with a three-game sweep at Target Field two weekends ago. The Indians jettisoned Derek Lowe and Johnny Damon last week but couldn't avoid another devastating loss in Detroit on Sunday. ... McAllister and Kluber have never faced the Twins.
