CHICAGO -- Election season isn't until November, but Indians rookie shortstop Francisco Lindor is on the campaign trail. On Wednesday night he took the stage at U.S. Cellular Field and provided a few more examples why he has a strong case to be the American League Rookie of the Year.
In the Tribe's 6-4 victory over the White Sox, Lindor launched a home run, legged out a triple and added a single, igniting Cleveland's offense. He has been one of baseball's hottest hitters in the second half, and he has three weeks left to continue building his case for year-end accolades.
