The Indians were baseball’s hottest team in June, going 22-6 and ending the month with a 13-game winning streak that was extended to a franchise-record 14 games on Friday.
On Saturday, Indians starting pitcher Danny Salazar was named American League Pitcher of the Month and outfielder Tyler Naquin was named AL Rookie of the Month, two individual accolades resulting from a torrid month of baseball.
Salazar went 5-0 in June with an ERA of 1.91 and 35 strikeouts in 33 innings pitched to further his case as one of the top contenders for the AL Cy Young Award.
