CLEVELAND – The Indians one-day hold on first place came to a quick end Tuesday, as the Red Sox pounded Mike Clevinger and got a huge win as they topped the Tribe 7-6 in 10 innings at Progressive Field.
The loss drops the Tribe to 72-48, and with the Twins win over the Milwaukee Brewers in Milwaukee, the Twins are now back in first in the division by a half a game with a mark of 72-47.
Boston peppered Clevinger with some key two out hits, scoring single runs in the first and second, and then putting up two runs each in the 5th and 6th.
