Civale Dominant as Tribe Win 5th Straight 6-1 Over Pittsburgh at PNC Park

By Jared Edwards

Aaron Civale threw a masterful performance as the Indians hammered the Pirates 6-1 to win their 5th straight game Wednesday night.

Cleveland will go for their second consecutive series sweep when they send ace Shane Bieber to the hill Thursday night.

In the first complete game he has pitched since high school, Civale gave up just one run over nine innings. He struck out six and gave up just five hits. Pittsburgh was able to break up the shutout with a sacrifice fly in the ninth.

Carlos Santana blasted his second three-run home run in as many days as he took Dovydas Neverauskas deep to right field to give the Indians a 3-0 lead.
