During the hour and twenty-minute rain delay that preceded the Indians-Cardinals series opener on Monday night, Sports Time Ohio aired the Indians’ three-run 9th inning walk-off win against the Washington Nationals from July 26, 2016. I guess it was supposed to pump up viewers for a great game. Unfortunately, the only runs viewers saw the Tribe score last night were during the replay, because they were shut out by the Cardinals 4-0.
Indians starter Mike Clevinger went 5.0 innings, giving up 2 earned runs on 6 hits, while walking two and striking out four. Not a bad night, except that the Indians couldn’t deliver to back him up.
