Notebook: Rajai Davis starts in center field over Tyler Naquin in Game 7

After the miscues in the outfield in Game 6, Rajai Davis received the start in center field over Tyler Naquin in Game 7.

Naquin, a rookie, played a role in a two-run misplay in the Indians’ Game 6 loss.

“I think Nake’s pressing a little bit,” Indians manager Terry Francona said prior to Wednesday’s Game 7. “And during the regular season, it’s one thing where you kind of maybe let him get through it. I just don't know that, with one game left, and Kluber’s pitching, just trying to put a premium on making sure we catch the ball and also, we need to score.
