Here are 19 Walk-Off Thoughts after the Indians beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0 in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series Friday night.
1. The Indians’ pitching staff stifled another terrific offense and Francisco Lindor hit the biggest home run of his career. And, the Indians have a 1-0 series lead in the ALCS with a trip to the World Series on the line.
2. Lindor, Corey Kluber and Andrew Miller stand as three of the Indians’ key pieces not only this season but looking ahead through at least the 2018 season. It was primarily on their backs that the Indians came out on top Friday night, essentially according to plan.
