CLEVELAND -- Francisco Lindor usually has a song running through his head when he walks to the plate. Especially when the pressure is mounting on the field, the lyrics and beat that flow in his mind serve as a distraction for the Indians shortstop.
As Lindor walked to the batter's box in the ninth inning of Thursday's 5-4 walk-off win over the Royals, the internal tune of the night -- "Space Jam" by the Quad City DJ's -- disappeared on him. With the Progressive Field crowd buzzing, and the game-tying run on third base, Lindor had something else consuming his mind.
