 This one was worth the wait for the Minnesota Twins.



Joe Mauer raced home with the winning run when Max Kepler's comebacker ricocheted off pitcher Joe Colon's glove in the 11th inning to give the Twins a rain-delayed 5-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.



"If you're going to wait that long, it's nice to get out there and get a win in," Mauer said after a game that was delayed by rain for 2 hours, 5 minutes.



Colon (0-1) reached behind his back to try to glove the bouncer and knocked it down. His throw home beat Mauer, but catcher Yan Gomes couldn't handle it and was charged with an error on the play.

Manager Terry Francona was talking about the Twins before Saturday night's game at Target Field.



"Some teams just play you tough," said Francona. "Every game with these guys is a tug-of-war."



The tug-of-war went in the Twins favor one more time later that night and early Saturday morning. What's more, they did it in walk-off fashion as Joe Mauer scored from third base on an error by catcher Yan Gomes for a 5-4 victory in 11 innings.



The Twins won it following a 2 hour and 5 minute rain delay. The game was halted with two out in the top of the 11th with the score tied, 4-4.



Rookie Joe Colon (0-1) started the 11th for the Indians. Colon opened with a quick out, but walked Mauer. Miguel Sano followed with a double off the right field wall as Mauer stopped at third.



"I'm thankful he knocked it down and it got away from him, otherwise they might have turned a double play on me," Kepler said.
