MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Miguel Sano singled in a run with one out in the ninth inning, giving the Minnesota Twins a 6-5, walk-off win over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.

Minnesota rallied after Mike Napoli homered off Kevin Jepsen (2-3) in the top of the ninth to tie the game 5-5. It was Jepsen's third blown save in five chances.

The Twins came back against closer Cody Allen (0-2). Minnesota's Brian Dozier doubled with one out in the ninth and intentionally walked Joe Mauer. Sano followed with a line drive to center field to score Dozier.

Minnesota is now 6-4 at Target Field and 1-10 on the road.

Twins starter Ricky Nolasco allowed four runs on five hits and struck out nine over 7 1/3 innings.

Minnesota is bringing up Berrios after putting right-handers Ervin Santana and Kyle Gibson on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday. The Twins announced Berrios as Wednesday's starter following a 6-5 win Tuesday night.

Twins general manager Terry Ryan says it "isn't pre-determined on how many starts he's going to get, by any stretch."

The 21-year-old Berrios is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and one of Minnesota's best along with outfielder Byron Buxton. The 2012 first-rounder was sent back to Triple-A to work on his command this season, and Ryan is pleased with his progress. He is 2-0 with a 1.06 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 17 innings with Rochester.

Tonight's game begins at 7:10 with the pre-game show at 6:30.  Listen to it on 1340 KROC AM.
