CLEVELAND -- The Indians' offense has operated like a powder keg this season. The lineup might go quiet for a few days, but when the group reverses that trend, it happens swiftly and in overwhelming fashion.
On Wednesday night at Progressive Field, Jose Ramirez lit the fuse.
Ramirez ignited a 19-4 rout of the Reds with a pair of home runs, giving him 27 shots on the season to pull within one of tying MLB leader J.D. Martinez of the Red Sox.
