CLEVELAND -- Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor held his glove to the sky, doing his best to block out the sun as the fly ball that shot off Mark Canha's bat flew in his direction. It was no use. The baseball found the outfield grass for an improbable first-inning single in Sunday afternoon's 6-0 loss to the A's at Progressive Field.
It was just that kind of day for the Tribe.
Indians rookie Shane Bieber was victimized by some bad luck behind him and an ill-timed home run.
