Fifth Inning Errors Prove Costly, Indians Fall To Yankees 5-2; Three Takeaways From The Loss

An inning with a couple of errors from Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor led to Cleveland’s 5-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Saturday.

After getting the Tribe on the board with a solo shot in the fourth inning, Lindor made an extremely rare defensive blunder that helped put New York ahead in the fifth inning. It wasn’t just one error either.

Lindor bobbled a ground ball in an attempt to start a double play. After squandering that opportunity, he then turned and tried catching the Yankees baserunner on his way to third base but threw the ball to the left away from Jose Ramirez.
