CLEVELAND -- The ninth inning on Friday night encapsulated Dan Otero's season out of the Indians' bullpen. The veteran reliever generated four ground balls, including one that led to a double play, but he also surrendered a home run to Boston's Tzu-Wei Lin.
"It was like, 'Man, I got ground balls,'" Otero said prior to Saturday's game against the Red Sox. "One ball hit in the air and it goes over the fence. I don't know how to stop that. I wish I did."
As Cleveland inches closer to sitting down and planning out its bullpen for the American League Division Series, Otero is trying to focus on process over results.
