Guardians vs. Twins Game Highlights (9/21/25) | MLB Highlights

So no doubt morning, the Guardian’s advanced team, they saw the amount of splitters that he used on Monday. Should they expect the same today? I think if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. If you look at what Sim did that last start, he also used the slider very effectively and the usage is up on that. So giving him three pitches to think about pretty much every count. I think if you look at Sim in the month of September as well, 16 innings innings pitched only nine hits. He struck out 24 in that time on the hill, the rain hander Simeon Woods Richardson at the plate. Stephen Quan Quan jumps it drills it deep right field, go get it. It’s gone a leadoff homer for stephen Kwan, his 11th home run on the season. Stephen Kwan on the third pitch of the game has put Cleveland on top 1 to 0. And that’s how stephen Kwan ambushes pitchers. He tried doing that earlier in the series and just missed one but this time he did not. He can, it’s a line drive and there goes that dugout again. It is all fired up after one swing of the bat as the 31 is wide and that’s ball four and this game could not have started any worse for Cian Woods, Richardson and the twins, a home run and now a walk and now Jose ramirez gets to bat again. The 32 struck him out and you know what, that slider up in the zone, that play, whether that was intent or not. On Monday, it was a slider that did not have much depth but befuddled many Yankee hitters on Monday night. Now, kyle Manzo, Manzo reps one to right center field and it gets by Buxton. It came right to Larnach. So Manzo will have to hold with a long single only because Valera had to hold up and make sure. And by the time he saw the ball get by Buxton, he restarted the engines. Guardians at the corners with only one out infield back runners at the corners, one out one nothing Cleveland, here’s red hot B Aylor pops this one up. That should get it done right. Center field. Buxton takes it tagging is Valera, he’ll score without a throw and it’s one nothing Guardians in the first. He has a five and three record with a 327 earned run average. He’s been pitching very well recently and he’s got the fastball changeup curveball slider. Here’s Byron Buxton two and two. Byron one for 11 in this series swing and a Miss Cantillo strikes him out one away. He checks in, rolls it up the first baseline. Almost like a bunt Cantillo with a quick release. Can’t get him. It got away from Manzo. Not sure if it hit the runner and they’re going to called the runner out for being in the baseline. And that’s out. Number two, home plate umpire Nick Marley immediately raising the right hand and calling Clemons out. Well, he was trailing the, the runner and he was on the inside of that line towards the grass on the infield and it’s his discretion. He didn’t give him a throwing lane. It is not a reviewable play as Rocco ball deli will get some explanation from the home plate umpire and let’s see what happened. You see he’s on the inside, he’s on the grass, he’s on the grass and he tries to throw it and it hits the runner. That’s as an egregious an offense as you can see home third and Johnny Pereda leads it off against Joey Cantillo Twins looking for their first hit swing and a liner softly hit to right, making the head high catches Kafa and now it’s Buxton for a second. Look at Cantillo to right down the line and fair and Buxton will take second base and stop there, see who needs exit vilo. That was 65 miles an hour and just floating that inside the right field line and a two out double. Now, Cody Clemens runner, second time run at the plate lined to left field, that’s a base hit and the scoreless streak will end RB I single cody Clemens that drives in Buxton and the twins put a one in the run column and trail by one here in the third. Now he rings him up. Martín never took the bat off his shoulder. What a strange be Trevor Larnach leading off for the twins down 2 to 1. Joey Cantillo back to work struck him out number four for Cantillo elevated the heater so good pitch changing the eye level, he was sitting on a breaking ball because you could see that fastball gave him no chance whatsoever. Strikeout number four swing and a miss and Joey Cantillo has reel it back in after those consecutive two out hits in the third inning. He has struck out the last three twins hitters in a row. So one down and here comes Brian Roch. Same spot for Roy. This time Fitzgerald shifting over a bit and out recorded Julian with the scoop. Good call in the back. It looks like his foot is definitely off after the call in the overturned. The runner is safe to retain. So Brian Roo will have himself a one out single ball four. Only the second walk issued by Woods Richardson both have come against George Valera. That’s his eye. Jose Ramirez steps in two on two. Gone here in the fifth weekly hit to first. It will be Julian feeding Sim and he works out of 2 to 1 guardians and now the twins have something going here in the fifth inning two on with Byron Buxton coming to the plate and one out and ball four bases loaded. And Clemens the lefty bats swings to the first pitch, pops it up on the infield. Arias with the infield fly rule in effect two down. It’ll be up to austin Martín with two down popped up. That’s going to be in play foul ground. Manzo makes the catch. Oh, eric Zabowski to the rescue one down here’s Luke Kishel. Kishel has grounded out and struck out, flipped to right down the line and that will land fair and step over the side wall for an automatic double. So Kesha has two doubles in this series, both to that side of the field make that three doubles in this series. It’s going to be right hander matt Festa. He’ll turn Brooksley around to bat left handed. Kel at third base reached on a one out aa swing and a drive into right field and deep Beckett goes towards the wall that is gone. A two run homer and the twins lead 3 to 2 really good swing here. Set fastball was talking about, it almost appears to cut because it doesn’t have any run on. It looks like Brooks anticipated that was looking for something coming in towards the twins holding to a 32 lead and they are two away here in the seventh. That will be Clemons rolled up the third base line and that will play perfectly. Clemens takes off and that’s pulled fair ramirez fouled territory long throw and it comes free ball is loose. Clemens will stop at third base and Martín is safe and the twins have runners at the corners and say you show up to the ballpark , you see something you’ve never seen before. The end of this play. I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Great effort by ramirez on a ball that went right over the bag. So that’s a fair ball, great effort on the throw and Then watch as he picks it, he tries to put the tag on and the ball comes flying out of his glove. I think that error might be changed with runners on the corners. Two men out Lewis hitting here for nick, a swing and a fly ball to left center and deep sending Quan back to the wall that is gone. It’s a pinch hit three run homer from Royce Lewis and the twins open up a 62 lead Royce Lewis with a pinch hit three run homer here in the seventh inning. And the Minnesota Twins lead it 6 to 2 13th home run for Lewis 11 since the all star break, Travis Adam is going to pitch here in the ninth inning. Twins up 6 to 2. He is making his 15th appearance. He’s got a 720 earned run average two down in the ninth and Martinez will be lifted for hitter. This is Daniel and this should do it. Schneeman flies out to Martín and the twins and the Guardian’s winning streak at 10 and win the home season finale, 62 of the final. But they have set the stage for a most dramatic finish to this 2025 campaign because when they return home Tuesday night, it’ll be Cleveland and Detroit, the brawl for it all in the central division.
