Cowser Blasts Twins, Guardians Take Game 1, 10-4
With right fielder Colton Cowser leading the charge, the Cleveland Guardians got a road win over the Minnesota Twins, 10-4, in Game 1 of the Wild Card Game. Cowser was 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 and driving in 3 at Target Field to help Cleveland take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-3 series.

With no one out in the top of the sixth, Gabriel Moreno barreled up a fastball from Gerrit Cole. The result was a 2-run home run, putting the Guardians in front, 6-3.

"Nice win for us," said Moreno. "Now we'll go after the next one."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Target Field in Minneapolis.
