CLEVELAND – The Indians have suddenly started to hit the ball as well as they have all season after a four-game set in Chicago in which they averaged just 2.5 runs per game.
In winning four of their last five on this current eight-game homestand, the team has averaged over six runs per game, getting a lot of help from a couple players in the lineup.
Catcher Roberto Perez has been on fire, hitting homers in the last four games for the Tribe. Carlos Santana has reached base in 23 of his last 24 games.
