How about that? The Indians have won 8 out 11, something no tribe fan would have believed after that Baltimore series. A big reason why we keep winning is our suddenly dominant staff. Following Bauer’s great outing on Wednesday, Cody Anderson followed him up with another impressive showing tonight against the Astros. He went 6 2/3 innings before a surprising hook from Francona. Why Anderson was pulled with only 79 pitches and in a groove is beyond me. I’m not going to complain though, because our bullpen shut it down.
The Indians have again shown in this series that they actually can hit with runners in scoring position, contrary to what they showed earlier in the season.
