CLEVELAND – The Indians haven’t exactly been hitting the cover off the ball in their first two games against the Royals at Progressive Field, but in the end all that matters if they’ve won the first two games of the three-game set.
Sunday they will look for the sweep, as they send All-Star game MVP Shane Bieber (12-6, 3.26) to the mound to look to wrap up the sweep before an off day Monday and a series starting on Tuesday in Detroit.
Saturday’s win didn’t come without a huge cost, as the team lost 3B Jose Ramriez possibly for the rest of the regular season with a fracture of the hamate bone in his right wrist.
