MINNEAPOLIS, July 6 (UPI) -- Craig Monroe, Brendan Harris and Alexi Casilla had two RBI each and the Minnesota Twins scored runs in the sixth inning Saturday to beat Cleveland 9-6.

The winner was Kevin Slowey (6-6). Closer Joe Nathan recorded his 24th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

Cleveland's Grady Sizemore had two hits, one a three-run second inning homer. Three others had one RBI, while Andy Marte also had two hits in the Indians' seventh straight loss.
