CLEVELAND – On a day when emotions ran high in the Indians organization with the announced rest of the season suspension of Marlon Byrd, the night ended on a much needed good note with a hard-fought 5-4 win in 11 innings over the Texas Rangers.
The win ends a three-game losing streak for the Tribe, and they now sit at 27-24 on the season.
It almost didn’t need to go to extras, as the team had a shot to win it in 9 innings, but for the first time this season Cody Allen wasn’t able to close out a save situation, as the Rangers scored one in the 9th to tie the game at four.
