The Cleveland Indians erased a 6-1 deficit — tagging Chris Sale for five runs before plating the game-tying run in the ninth inning — but in the end the Tribe came up short against the Boston Red Sox, 7-6, in extra innings. Jackie Bradley Jr. deposited a meatball of a changeup into the right field seats in the tenth inning to regain the lead for good.
Sale was nearly untouchable for the first five innings of the game, surrendering a solo home run to Carlos Santana in the fourth and notching double-digit strikeouts. Trailing 6-1, the Indians started chipping away in the sixth inning, starting with a two-run shot by Franmil Reyes.
