Cleveland- The Indians relied on a strong start from Zach Pleasac in game one, as the offense got off to a slow start on Wednesday. Texas starter Ariel Jurado held Cleveland without a hit through the first four innings in game one, before a Mike Freeman single broke up the no-no. Unfortunately Freeman’s single didn’t exactly wake up the Tribe offense, as Cleveland finished game one with only three hits.
Believe it or not the Rangers actually doubled the number of hits the Indians had. Luckily two of Cleveland’s hits came in the seventh inning. First Carlos Santana singled to right-field to get things started, after Yasiel Puig struck out, Jose Ramirez stepped up to the plate.
