The Cleveland Indians put together another solid week of work and closed the gap in the AL Central, pulling within six games of the first place Minnesota Twins. They had an annoyingly difficult time getting back to .500 on the season, as they failed to do so on two separate occasions in this series against the Baltimore Orioles.
A struggling AL Central has allowed the Tribe to keep within arm’s reach of their division foes, even despite a horrid month of April. Cleveland will get another crack at Detroit this week and, should they take care of business against Seattle, the Tribe may have an opportunity to push themselves ahead of the third-place Tigers in a three-game set this weekend.
