Walk Off Fun Again: Lindor’s Triple Keys 9th Inning Rally As Indians Top Royals 5-4

CLEVELAND – For Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor, he was just going to keep running till he was told otherwise.

His clutch one-out triple in the 9th that was badly misplayed by Royals outfielder Paulo Orlando was the difference as for the second straight day the Indians got a walk-off win, beating first-place Kansas City 5-4 at Progressive Field.

The win came after the Indians scratched out a run in the 8th down 4-2 when Tyler Naquin singled in Mike Napoli to make it 4-3, setting up the 9th inning heroics for Lindor and company.
