Cleveland Guardians lose 12-8 to the Twins at Target Field. It was Carl Willis' first game as a manager. The game was tied at 2-2 when the score changed. Bryan Shaw came in and allowed 11 runs in 5 innings. He was the only player to record an out. The team had to leave most of their big-league coaches in Chicago. They returned by bus on Thursday. Their game against the White Sox was postponed. A COVID-19 outbreak caused the postponement. Byron Buxton and Jorge Polanco hit the first two home runs of the season. Nick Gordon hit a grand slam.
