The Cleveland Indians' post-All Star break hot streak continued last night with a 8-2 win over the Minnesota Twins. Cleveland was powered largely by Carlos Santana, who went 4-5 from the plate and had his 15th homer of the season, along with two RBIs to break out of a nasty slump. Pitcher Danny Salazar was also a factor in the Indians' W, going five innings and allowing just one run, while Nick Swisher went 2-3 and David Murphy added two RBIs. The loss brings Minnesota to 1-4 in since the All-Star Break, while Cleveland improves to 4-2.
Around the league, Kansas City's Mike Moustakas had a big night with two home run and three RBIs in the Royals' 7-1 win over the White Sox. Anthony Rizzo of the Cubs and Milwaukee's Jonathan Lucroy also had two homers apiece, and you'll have to hit the jump for the full rundown on the cleats worn by the night's best players.
