Chicago- Friday night started as well as it could’ve for the Cleveland Indians. Francisco Lindor hit a lead-off home run to give the Indians a 1-0, but that was the only highlight of the game for Cleveland. The crowd at Guaranteed Rate Field saw their Chicago White Sox score six straight runs and move into second place.
The Indians and White Sox both now sit at 28-29 and 10.5 games behind the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central. Chicago starter Dylan Covey benefited from strong defensive play behind hi, Indians starter Trevor Bauer did not.
Bauer threw 111 pitches, 81 of those were strikes during his seven innings of work, but four of the six runs scored against him were unearned.
