The Indians sweep a doubleheader from the Twins in sweltering weather at Target Field, 5 – 2, and 6 – 3. Fausto Carmona wins the nitecap in his return from the disabled list after David Huff, just called up from the minors, earns the win in the opener with 7 shutout innings in an emergency spot start. The Indians like what they see from Huff enough to send down Jeanmar Gomez instead of him after the first game in order to activate Carmona for the game 2 start. The Twins also have to scramble for starters in the twin bill, using reliever Anthony Swarzak in the opener, and Scott Diamond, who makes his major league debut in the second game. Both pitch decently but end up with losses.
