The Cleveland Indians completed their penultimate homestand of the 2016 season in winning fashion, coming out on top against the Houston Astros in a wild game on Thursday afternoon. The Tribe went 8-2 at Progressive Field, and now hits the road with a six-game lead in the American League Central Division.
Cleveland begins a seven-game roadtrip on Friday against the only team in the Central that it does not have a winning record against, the Minnesota Twins. Through the first 16 meetings, the two sides have played to an even 8-8 split, with the Twins having outscored the Indians 85-79 in those contests.
