MINNEAPOLIS -- The Cleveland Indians hope Wednesdays rally will help turn things around. Michael Brantley hit a sacrifice fly in the 12th inning and the Indians came back to beat the Minnesota Twins 9-8. Carlos Santana and Jason Giambi homered for the Indians, who won for just the third time in 10 games. Joe Mauer tied a career high with five hits for Minnesota. "When you get a win like today where you go back and forth ... its definitely crucial," said Mike Aviles, who had a pair of RBIs. Nick Swisher and Jason Kipnis singled off Ryan Pressly (3-3) to open the 12th. Swisher moved to third on a fly out and scored easily on Brantleys fly out to centre field. Chris Perez (5-2) blew a save but got the win. Joe Smith earned his second save, including a strikeout of Mauer to end the game. Santana homered off Glen Perkins in the 10th to give Cleveland an 8-7 lead. Mauer responded in the bottom half with a shot off Perez. The Indians, who trail Detroit by six games in the AL Central, were swept at home by the Tigers last week and then lost two of three at home to the Los Angeles Angels. After losing 3-0 to the Twins on Monday, Cleveland has won two straight. The Indians open a three-game series Friday at Oakland before playing three at the Angels. "We just need to keep trying to win series. I think the biggest thing is going game-by-game and hopefully the series will start piling up," Aviles said. Cleveland trailed 7-3 entering the eighth inning. After the first two batters reached base against Casey Fien, Brantley had an RBI single and Giambi followed with a three-run homer that tied it. "Im a strike thrower. Im going to pitch to contact, and today they got me," Fien said. "I left the ball up in the zone to Giambi, and he hurt me." Minnesota starter Kyle Gibson allowed six hits and three earned runs in 5 1-3 innings, the fourth straight start hes failed to go at least six innings. Josh Roenicke, Caleb Thielbar and Jared Burton pitched 1 2-3 innings of scoreless relief before Fien struggled in the eighth. "Caseys been lights out, one of the better setup guys in our league, since we put him in that role," manager Ron Gardenhire said. Looking to build on the confidence gained from pitching one-hit ball in five relief innings last Friday, Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco allowed 10 hits and four earned runs in 4 1-3 innings. Carrasco, who was recalled from Triple-A Friday, is winless in seven starts this year and hasnt won since June 29, 2011, at Arizona. "Consistently, from start to start he holds his stuff very well, but he just makes too many mistakes. A lot of times you cant get away with one mistake to good hitters. Theres times where he makes one or two or three during an at-bat and hes paying for it," manager Terry Francona said. Mauer, who singled and moved to third on a double by Justin Morneau, scored on a first-inning sacrifice fly by Josh Willingham. Morneau then scored on a double by Oswaldo Arcia. Brain Dozier and Mauer had RBI singles in the second to give Minnesota a 4-0 lead. The Twins went 6 for 13 with runners in scoring position after going 3 for 48 over their last six games. Minnesota entered the game last in the American League, hitting .230 in such situations. Mauer hit a two-run single in the sixth and Chris Colabello an RBI single in the seventh to make it 7-3. NOTES: Mauer has five five-hit games in his career. The previous one was July 26, 2010, at Kansas City. ...

Andhra coach Sanath Kumar has said he was surprised at spinners picking up 19 of the 20 wickets to fall on a Dhanbad surface that had a lot of grass. Goa left-arm spinner Shadab Jakati, on the other hand, said he expected the surface to offer turn, but not on the first day itself.Goa, sent in to bat, were shot out for 115, with left-arm spinner Bhargav Bhatt and debutant offspinner B Siddharth taking six and four wickets respectively. In response, Andhra, well placed at 100 for 3, were bowled out for 159 with Jakati taking career-best figures of 8 for 53. Andhra opener Srikar Bharat, who scored 68 off 67 balls, was the only batsman to pass 50 on either side.Only 13 overs of the 90 were bowled by seamers from both sides. We thought it was initially going to be a seamer-friendly wicket, Sanath told ESPNcricinfo. We went with three seamers, and when we bowled the wicket was slow. Just to check the extent of moisture in the pitch, we bowled Bhargav and it started turning square. Then we continued with both the spinners.We have never played here, so nobody had an idea. Everybody thought the first day will help the seamers and then it will be good for batting and probably will turn on the third and fourth day. Also, the practice wicket we played on was nice - there was a lot of bounce and it was coming on nicely.Jakati, who had a contrasting take on the practice pitches, said Goa would likely have batted first anyway had they won the toss, but admitted there was a bit of temptation to bowl because of the overcast conditions in the morning.I am not really surprised by the pitch because the practice wickets were similar to this, and I have played on this ground before, he said.dddddddddddd. We knew batting fourth would be difficult on this wicket. The only thought in favour of bowling first was the conditions. We felt if you could play out those 45 minutes when the wicket was damp, it would have become good to bat on later. But, we didnt expect it to turn straightaway from the eighth or ninth over.Jakati, who felt the excessive turn may have been caused by a high proportion of sand in the surface, said batsmen may have contributed to their own downfall by playing from the crease. If you are really good at stepping out and playing to the spinners, then its a challenge for the spinners, he said. If you stay in the crease, its difficult for the batsmen. Bharat played very positive cricket - anything short outside off stump, he was cutting, and any over-pitched ball he was trying to hit straight over the bowlers head.Both Sanath and Jakati said there wasnt any variable bounce so far, but Sanath said it was hard to predict how the pitch would play hereon. You dont find any big marks [on the pitch]; there is evenly distributed grass, too. Just like that we wont get fooled, no? he laughed, clearly referring to how they misread the pitch. Jakati, meanwhile, underlined the importance of wiping out the deficit quickly. A lead of 45 runs is obviously crucial on this type of a wicket, so hopefully we can first [wipe that out tomorrow]. If we can set them a target of around 140-150, then I feel we have a chance.
