CLEVELAND – It has been more than 500 days since fans have seen live baseball at Progressive Field. It felt some normalcy as Gov. Mike DeWine allowed 30 percent of fans to attend the Home Opener against the Kansas City Royals. The capacity will continue to at least the first half of the season.
However, the bad news was the Indians’ bats never showed up. In the 3-0 loss to the Royals, the offense struggled against Kansas City’s pitchers as they only record three hits.
“Were not stringing them together,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.
