CLEVELAND, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Trevor Crowe's RBI double Thursday lifted the Cleveland Indians to a 2-1win over the Minnesota Twins.

Jhonny Peralta hit a sacrifice fly, while Travis Hafner, Shin-Soo Choo and Asdrubal Cabrera all had two hits for the Indians, who won twice in the three-game series.

The winner was reliever Tony Sipp (2-0).

Closer Kerry Wood recorded his 15th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

Starter Fausto Carmona surrendered a run and six hits in six innings.

Minnesota's run scored on a fourth-inning wild pitch by Carmona.

Michael Cuddyer and Orlando Cabrera had two hits each for the Twins, who have lost four of five.

Losing pitcher Nick Blackburn (8-6) yielded two runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings.
