CHICAGO -- The gap separating the Indians from the rest of the American League Central Division may be in double-digits, but manager Terry Francona certainly doesn't want his players to approach their business like they are running away with anything.
The Indians entered play on Friday with an 11-game division lead over the Twins after winning three out of four from their nearest competitors, including walk-off victories on Wednesday and Thursday.
For all of the excitement a pair of rallies may seem to create, Francona wants to think that the Indians maintain a high level of energy on a daily basis.
