MINNEAPOLIS —
Limited to one hit through four innings, Cleveland sent 10 batters to the plate in the fifth inning.
A one-out single by Kwan scored Brayan Rocchio and Petey Halpin. With two outs, Kyle Manzardo and CJ Kayfus had RBI singles around a two-run double by Gabriel Arias to the wall in right-center field.
Kwan added a two-run single in the eighth.
That was more than enough for Logan Allen (8-11), who earned his first win since July 29 by scattering four hits and striking out seven in a career-high eight innings.
Guardians starters have allowed no more than two earned runs in 15 straight games since Sept. 5, the longest streak in franchise history.
