Actual Recap

Mike Clevinger and the Indians’ bullpen throttled the Blue Jays this afternoon with a final score of 3-1. The offense jumped to an early lead powered by a three-for-three day by Tyler Naquin and solid help from the rest of the middle of the order. The weekend sweep propelled the team to a 6-3 record—the best nine-game start for any Francona-skippered tribe team.

Early Scoring

A jolt from the middle of the order gave the Tribe the only runs it would need to maintain a lead throughout the afternoon.
