Indians Shut Out Twins

Backed by veteran starter Derek Lowe's first shutout in seven years, the Indians methodically dismantled the Twins, 5-0, on Tuesday afternoon to cap off a two-game series sweep.

The sweep drastically softened the sting from a tough stretch last week during which the Indians dropped five of six games. It also kept them firmly in first place in the American League Central.
