The Cleveland Indians looked to make a bit of history this afternoon as they met the Toronto Blue Jays for an matinee game at the Rogers Centre. A wind today would give the Tribe a 14-game winning streak, the longest in team history. Josh Tomlin was on the hill for the Indians and looking for his tenth win of the year while the Blue Jays countered with right-hander Marcus Stroman.
The Toronto fans were a raucous crowd from the start, but excitement quickly turned to boos in the bottom of the first inning. Josh Tomlin got off to a hot start by striking out the side, but it was not without controversy as Edwin Encarnacion protested his called third strike—which did look to be a bit outside—by arguing with, and then bumping home plate umpire Vic Carapazza.
