CLEVELAND – Giving a good team in the Majors extra outs is usually a recipe for disaster.
The Indians learned that the hard way Friday night.
In game one of a critical three-game art against the team they are chasing in the AL Central the Minnesota Twins, a major gaffe by reliever Nick Goody gave the Twins an extra out, and by the time it was over a 3-1 Indians lead was tuned into a 4-3 Twins advantage.
The offense had one inning of success in which they scored three off Twins starter Kyle Gibson, but Minnesota’s relievers shut out the Tribe the rest of the way:
The lead is now back to 6.
