ARLINGTON, Texas– The Cleveland Indians could not muster any offensive momentum on Sunday in the 123-degree heat against the Texas Rangers.
After the Indians scored a combined 25 runs over the last two days, Texas starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo was able to wind back the clock and put together his best outing of the year to stifle the Tribe bats in the Rangers’ 5-0 shutout win.
Here are three takeaways as the Tribe gets ready to head back home to face the Pirates in a 3-game set.
