Once again the offense was not very good, but unlike on Thursday when they couldn’t get a run across the plate, this time they were good enough, pushing two runners to home plate, and it was enough for a Tribe 2-1 win over the Twins.
The frigid cold didn’t hurt Tribe starter Trevor Bauer, who was dominant, striking out nine over seven innings, allowing one hit.
The offense came through when they needed it, as in the ninth inning against Twins reliever Blake Parker, as they got a runner on third with one out (Carlos Santana singled, went to second and third on wild pitches).
