A common complaint about the Indians’ offense this season is that hitters never seem to get hot at the same time. The team always relies on one bat to carry it to victory. This afternoon the Indians offered a rare counter-example in their 4-1 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers. Jose Ramirez, Francisco Lindor, Carlos Santana, and [checks notes] Jordan Luplow all reached base three times. Sandwiched between them sat Franmil Reyes, who didn’t get a hit or a strikeout in four at-bats but grounded into a productive run-scoring double play.
I know that isn’t really a great thing, but when the bad breaks still managed to drive in a run, you’re having a good afternoon of baseball.
