If the Indians and Red Sox do meet in the postseason, and tonight’s game is a preview of what is to come, then none of us are going to live to see the Holidays this year.
The Red Sox scored in the bottom of the ninth but stranded the tying and winning runs on base, and the Indians prevailed by a final score of 5-4. Corey Kluber pitched 6.1 innings to earn his sixteenth win, Cody Allen notched his 25th save, and the Tribe finished the first of a four game series with twenty more wins than losses.
