Indians 3, Twins 2

Published April 10, 2006
CLEVELAND - Aaron Boone and Jake Westbrook are off to much better starts than a year ago - and so are the Indians.
Boone had a two-run double and Westbrook outpitched Minnesota ace Johan Santana in the Indians' fifth straight win.
Eduardo Perez homered as Cleveland improved to 5-1 for its best start since opening 2002 at 11-1. The Indians have not had a winning April since, including a 9-14 record last year.
QUOTABLE: "You might say I'm having a bit more fun this April." - Boone, hitting .344 through six games after grinding through a 9-for-73 (.123) first month of 2005.
