CLEVELAND — As the losses pile up, the pressure builds.

The Minnesota Twins haven’t won in two weeks and manager Paul Molitor senses his team is close to breaking.

“It’s been a long week,” Molitor said after Minnesota dropped its 13th straight, 8-4 to the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night. “We need to try to find a way to win a game at some point to just lighten the load. It’s getting heavy. Guys are getting on the edge a little bit.

“You can feel it. It’s building.”

Corey Kluber struck out a season-high 11 and notched his seventh straight win for the Indians, who pushed the Twins within one loss of tying the club record.

Unbeaten since July 3, Kluber (15-8) allowed three runs and six hits in eight solid innings to tame the Twins, winless since Aug. 17. The right-hander is 7-0 with a 1.94 ERA in his last 10 starts.

The Twins’ skid is the lengthiest in the majors this season, and also the second-longest in team history. They also lost 13 in a row in 1961 and 1982, when they dropped 14 in a row.

Molitor has been on both sides of streaks. The Hall of Famer was with Milwaukee in 1987, when the Brewers opened the season with 13 consecutive wins.

“We got to 20-3 and then we lost 12 in row so we gave them all back,” he said. “We won 13 at the start, which was pretty cool, but you don’t want to go from 20-3 to 20-15. It was tough.”

So is this stretch for the Twins, who dropped to 49-84 — the worst record in either league.

Brian Dozier hit his 32nd homer and Max Kepler connected for his 16th for the Twins, who rallied in the ninth by loading the bases with two outs against rookie Perci Garner, making his major league debut. Cleveland’s Bryan Shaw came on and threw a wild pitch to score a run before striking out Dozier for his first save.
