CLEVELAND -- With the American League Central crown already wrapped up, there are goals that the Indians want to accomplish down the stretch. One mentioned by manager Terry Francona this week was finding spots to allow sidearmer Adam Cimber to face multiple batters.
Thursday night, when a late push by the Tribe sent the game against the White Sox into extra innings, Francona allowed Cimber to stay on the mound for two full frames. That decision came at a cost, as Cimber flinched in the 11th to send the Indians to a 5-4 loss at Progressive Field.
