Well, they did it. It felt like the smallest margin of victory in the history of all 3-run wins, but they pulled it out.
With today’s win the Indians gained one game in the race for the Central Division title. They sit 5.5 games back, and at least one game back in the wildcard race pending the results of the Oakland-Detroit game.
In the usual and typical fashion, it wasn’t necessarily “fun” today.
Early lead
In the top of the second inning, Yasiel Puig opened things up with a walk. Jason Kipnis doubled, putting two runners in scoring position with nobody out.
