Giovanny Urshela tallies first career home run in Cleveland Indians 6-0 win over Mariners

Indians improve to 28-31

--

Waiting for a young player to rack up their first hit and home run can be excruciating at times, so it's nice when they decided to just get it all over in one game. In only his second big league game, third baseman Giovanny Urshela did just that and helped give the Cleveland Indians an offensive spark over the visiting Seattle Mariners.

Urshela's first career hit came as part of an offensive explosion that was the bottom of the third inning. To this point of the game only another young player, Zach Walters, had hit a run home and the rest of the Tribe offense looked to be whiffing with runners in scoring position as they've done all year long.
