Twins get rested for key series at Cleveland

Anthony Souffle – Star Tribune count

Twins center fielder Byron Buxton was checked by trainer Tony Leo and manager Rocco Baldelli after Buxton was hit in the hand while batting.

While Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco went 1-for-2 with an RBI single and pitcher Jose Berrios threw a scoreless inning with two strikeouts in the American League's 4-3 win at the All-Star Game in Cleveland on Tuesday night, the rest of the Twins roster got a much needed rest.

Yes, the All-Star break came at the right time for the Twins, even if that seems odd to say for a team that is 23 games over .500 at 56-33, has the fourth-best record in baseball and is only 1 ½ games behind the Yankees for the best record in the American League.
