It wasn’t long ago the season looked promising for the Cleveland Indians.
Cleveland Indians
The Tribe was 16-12 in May and pushed their record to within two games of the .500 mark. Since then, though, Cleveland has fallen to 33-41 and has lost nearly every series this month. This week, in particular, the Indians fell in two of three to both Tampa and Detroit before being swept in Oriole Park by Baltimore.
It hasn’t been pretty and the team’s struggles are clearly weighing heavily on the hitters, then forcing starters to pitch to perfection to earn a win.
