Cleveland ? Torii Hunter again said he was sorry for throwing a ball at Danys Baez.

He didn’t apologize for his home run.

Minnesota's Torii hunter, right, is greeted by David Ortiz after Hunter's two-run home run. The Twins completed a sweep of Cleveland with an 8-6 victory Thursday in Cleveland.

Hunter, who drilled Baez a night earlier after getting hit by a pitch, hit a two-run homer and Luis Rivas drove in the go-ahead runs in the seventh inning as the Minnesota Twins rallied Thursday for an 8-6 win over the Indians.

Before the game, Hunter told Twins manager Ron Gardenhire that he had some unfinished business with the Indians.

“He said, ‘I owe them,'” Gardenhire said. “I don’t think it’s a vendetta. But I’m sure if felt pretty good for him to be running the bases.”

Hunter left the pitching to others in Thursday’s game, using his bat to get back at the Indians as the Twins erased a 6-2 deficit and swept the two-game series.
