A great offensive production by Colombian Giovanny Urshela, with a triple and a home run, was not enough for the Minnesota Twins who lost 11-10 to the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday night before 25,604 people at Target Field in Minneapolis .
Urshela hit his sixth homer of the season, with two men on base, in the seventh inning off reliever Anthony Castro.
The Cartagena native, with a count of one ball and two strikes, swung at a 94 mph fastball and took the center field fence to bring Gary Sánchez and Alex Kirilloff to the plate.
