ANAHEIM, Calif.: Francisco Lindor homered and drove in three runs in the first two innings, and the Indians pounded another Angels starter in an 8-3 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday.
Carlos Santana hit two homers and drove in three more runs for the AL Central leaders, who took two of three at the Big A.
Mike Trout left the game in the eighth inning with a bruised right thumb after getting hit by a pitch from Indians reliever Tommy Hunter. X-rays showed no broken bones for the 2014 AL MVP.
Lindor’s three hits included a solo shot in the first and a bases-loaded single during the Indians’ four-run second, chasing David Huff (0-2).
