CLEVELAND – With each game feeling like a postseason affair, the Indians got a huge lift from one of their trade deadline players in the 10th inning Wednesday night to pull out another big win.
That player was former Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig, who drove in the winning run with a shot off the wall in right on the first pitch with the bases loaded to send the Tribe to a 2-1 win over the Tigers.
The victory puts the Indians at 89-63 on the season, a season-high 26 games over .500. It was also their 7th walkoff victory of the season, the last coming on the 12th of August when Carlos Santana homered against the Red Sox for the win.
