CLEVELAND – Braden Bishop knew he would get his major league hit eventually, but when Francisco Lindor made a brilliant diving stop on his hard ground ball in the first inning, throwing him out by a few steps.
“I don’t like ground balls in the first place,” Bishop said of the play made by Lindor. “But any way I could get the hit, I hoping for it. But he made a really nice play, which isn’t surprising.”
A hint of doubt crept into his mind.
“Is this ever going to happen?”
The question was answered in his next plate appearances.
