CLEVELAND — Rocco Baldelli stood in front of a Twins backdrop in the bowels of Progressive Field answering questions about his team’s 11-1 drubbing of the Cleveland Guardians. Around a corner, inside the clubhouse, his players were hooting and hollering, cheers of delight coming from the room.

Meanwhile, Twins starter Bailey Ober was dealing, and he shut out the Guardians (15-13) through 7 2/3 innings. Ober gave up just one run off eight hits and fanned a pair, throwing 94 total pitches. It marked Ober's fourth straight quality start.
