Jason Donald had two hits, two RBIs and two runs and Shelley Duncan finished with two hits and two runs as Cleveland won its fifth straight game since the All-Star break.
Six Cleveland players recorded two hits apiece. Jhonny Peralta, who had a hit and an RBI, and Austin Kearns, who was 0-for-2 before leaving with a sore knee in the fourth, were the only players who didn't have at least two.
Aaron Laffey (2-3) allowed one unearned run on five hits in five innings for the win.
Cleveland took a 2-1 lead into the fifth before scoring five times. Following Peralta's sacrifice fly, the Indians had five consecutive two-out singles. Hits by Crowe, Donald, Michael Brantley and Nix each scored a run.
Scott Baker (7-9) gave up six runs and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings. Baker started for the first time since July 8 because of a sore right elbow.
Jim Thome hit a solo homer and Delmon Young had three hits for Minnesota.
