Bobby Bradley’s sacrifice fly in the eighth inning capped Cleveland’s late rally and sent the Indians to a 3-2 win on Sunday, snapping their losing streak against Tampa Bay at 11 games.
On the verge of being swept and dropping under .500 for the first time since May 1, the Indians — who managed just one run in seven innings against Rays starter Ryan Yarbrough — rallied in the eighth off reliever Matt Wisler (3-4).
“It shows character,” said Indians bench coach DeMarlo Hale, who filled in for ailing manager Terry Francona for the second straight game.
