"I was completely out front," Lindor said. "It just went out. Good, old Cleveland."
Manaea had his way with the Indians over seven innings, pounding the strike zone with fastballs and getting hitters to chase his changeup and slider. The lefty was perfect through the first 10 batters he faced -- never falling behind in the count during that stretch. That changed with one out in the fourth, when Lindor took a first-pitch changeup for a ball.
That set up a six-pitch battle that ended with the 2-2 slider that tailed low in the zone to Lindor.
