Thursday night was the last of a three-game series against the Rangers. The Indians were looking to win the series after a solid victory of 7-2 on Wednesday.
Sam Hentges was on the hill for the Tribe making his 12th start of the season. Hentges was coming off a solid start last Friday against the Angels. He held the Angels to just one run in four innings.
The Indians’ lumber was hot in the 1st inning. Myles Straw led off with a home run. Franmil Reyes doubled to drive in Jose Ramirez. Bradley Zimmer wanted to join in the party.
