Cleveland third baseman Kevin Mitchell was a significant contributor in his team's 21-7 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. He was 4-5 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4 for Cleveland. Jose Jimenez picked up the win with 7.2 innings of work. He allowed 7 earned runs on 8 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 4. On the season, he is now 1-0. The Spiders, with only their 1st win in 4 games, have not had much to write home about in 1998.

With Cleveland leading 2-1 in the bottom of the second, Mitchell hit a curveball from Steve Parris for a 2-run single. It was his 5th hit of the season and put the Spiders ahead, 4-1.

"I had some good swings out there," said Mitchell.
