Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
CLEVELAND, June 12 (UPI) -- Shin-Soo Choo produced a three-run homer during a five-run third inning Thursday and the Cleveland Indians used an 18-hit effort to crush Minnesota 12-2.
It was Cleveland's largest run total of the season, resulting in the Twins' seventh loss in eight games.
Aaron Laffey (4-3) benefited from the offensive display to pick up the win, giving up a run on five hits in six innings.
Ben Francisco drove in three runs and Jamey Carroll had a career-best four hits for the Indians.
Livan Hernandez (6-4) was shelled for seven runs and 12 hits in three-plus innings. The Indians had been the only major league team Hernandez had never faced in his career.
The Indians had a 1-0 lead entering the third, which Carroll began with a single. Francisco then reached on an infield single and, one out later, David Dellucci loaded the bases with a single.
Jhonny Peralta singled in two runs and Choo followed with a homer to right.
