CLEVELAND (WJW) — The Cleveland Guardians ended their game Sunday in spectacular fashion, with a Will Brennan walk-off 3-run home run leading to a sweep of the Minnesota Twins.

But prior to the game at Progressive Field, the Guardians paid tribute to a local fallen officer. The first pitch was thrown out by Euclid Police Officer Vince Trusso, whose son Jacob Derbin was killed in the line of duty earlier this month.
