That’s what September baseball is supposed to feel like, and how fans of the Cleveland Indians hope the final score looks like for the next month and change as well. The Tribe was unrelenting in its offensive assault on Friday night at Progressive Field, beating the Detroit Tigers 11-4, pushing their lead in the American League Central Division out to seven, and shrinking their magic number to clinch said division to nine.
Cleveland scored in six of the eight innings in which it came to bat, putting up runs on four of the five Detroit pitchers it faced on the night, and continued the home cooking that has been so fruitful all season long.
