The Cleveland Indians continued their reign of dominance over the Minnesota Twins with a strong outing by the entire team. With a 5-0 win, the Tribe now sits in first place with a two-game lead in the AL Central.

Here's the three takeaways from the Father's Day sweep.

1. Edwin's Flying High- There are points in a season where you can recognize when a team, player or both has found their stride. Exhibit A was showcased at Target Field Sunday, when the Indians' designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion ripped the cover off the ball twice. What did you expect? He had to make up for not getting a home run yesterday in the Twins' best attempt to avoid pitching to him. Edwin has 16 home runs and 36 RBI's. I'd say he has officially acclimated himself to the team in June, as six of his home runs are from this month.

2. Bauer Brings The Power- For a guy known for a Twitter handle of "Bauer Outage", the righty brought the power on Sunday. Bauer has turned it around as of late, even battling Clayton Kershaw in what was an exciting outing by Bauer. Bauer struck out eight batters and only allowed four hits on the day, working seven strong innings. It's a positive sign for the rotation going forward.

3. Time For Jose Ramirez To Get Some National Recognition- Third baseman Jose Ramirez has been on a tear this season, now batting .313 on the season with 11 home runs and 34 RBI's. After what was an impressive career year for Ramirez, the time is now for him to get recognized nationally. This needs to start with becoming the starting third baseman in the All-Star Game this year. Pretty soon, we could be talking about higher accolades for JRam.
