CLEVELAND -- Tribe second baseman Jason Kipnis let out an emphatic roar as he stood up past home plate. His fellow middle infielder Francisco Lindor was the first to greet him with a congratulatory high-five.
In Tuesday's 6-0 series-clinching win over the Rays, Kipnis achieved a rare feat to bring in the first pair of runs for the Indians. In the third inning, he lifted a single into center when Desmond Jennings misplayed a hop. Kipnis wasted no time and began going full speed ahead and wound up scoring on a three-base error.
