Stellar efforts from both players allowed the Indians to cruise to victory after building an insurmountable lead.
Indians advance to 14-12
--
The Cleveland Indians won tonight's game in the bottom of the first inning.
Every hitter who stepped to the plate offered an above-average contribution to the inning, excepting Alice Carlos Santana. The singles by Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor sparked the offense. Michael Brantley drew a walk, and Mike Napoli plated a run on a groundout. Yan Gomes sat back on a 2-2 count and let Yordano Ventura -- league leader in walks -- build on that lead.
