Indians improve to 58-42
Tonight a defensive miscue once again proved decisive in the outcome of the game. This time it was the other team’s error that was the difference.
Trevor Bauer was better than his last time on the hill, but ultimately he faltered as he faced the A’s the third time through the order. An error paved the way for the A’s to get on the board in the fourth (thanks to a two-out single by good fremeny Billy Butler, then two home runs in the sixth gave Oakland a 3-0 lead. One of those homers came off the bat of potential trade target Josh Reddick, and he’d later have a say in how the game ended.
