Indians defeat Cubs with the power of solo dingers

In a weird game where the Cleveland Indians were at times unwatchable, and rarely looked like themselves, they managed to come within a home run shy of blowing out the Chicago Cubs.

Even with the offense finally turning it on in the middle innings against Jon Lester and capitalizing on some bad defense in the eighth, this still didn’t feel like a preview of a fully-powered Indians offense. I don’t buy the idea that they are going to be able to sustain a winning team by hitting three solo shots and hoping Anthony Rizzo forgets how to throw a baseball a routine (poorly-timed) bunt.
