CLEVELAND: The Indians blew a lead in the top of the ninth, but Carlos Santana hit a ball far enough in the bottom of the ninth that it didn’t matter.
Santana led off the ninth by belting a walk-off home run to center field to give the Indians a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox Friday night. It was the Indians’ third walk-off win of the season and snapped a three-game losing streak.
In the top of the ninth, Cody Allen took the mound with the Indians leading 2-1. But he allowed back-to-back doubles to Brett Lawrie and Avisail Garcia that tied it 2-2, as the team’s bullpen woes continued and nearly wasted a strong outing by Trevor Bauer.
