Guardians top Twins 2-1 to split series, as McKenzie sizzles with 10 Ks in debut

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Triston McKenzie eased right back into the rotation, hopeful that he can be part of an early summer spark for the lagging Cleveland Guardians.

McKenzie tossed five scoreless innings in his injury-delayed season debut, and Josh Naylor delivered a breakthrough RBI double in the seventh to give the Guardians a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon that split the four-game series.

“I think it’s about time we start to get up a little bit,” McKenzie said.
