Indians improve to 10-16
In the cold depths of winter, this is how you dreamed the Indians would play. Seven strong innings from the starting pitcher. Contributions from just about everyone in the batting order. Even a good defensive play or two. But the yearning for blurry abstract glory is never as interesting as wining in high definition with Ryan Raburn batting cleanup.
The Indians have been so bad at hitting left-handed pitching that clubs are now bringing up left-handed relievers or rearranging their rotation so that the Cleveland hitters would have as many at-bats as possible against a southpaw.
