CLEVELAND -- Doug Fister has always seemed to save his best for the Indians. The right-hander was masterful against Cleveland once again in his best start of the season -- not allowing an earned run over 6 2/3 innings.
However, it would take back-to-back of 12th-inning home runs from Joey Gallo and Isiah Kiner-Falefa to keep the Rangers on top as they survived a second straight bullpen meltdown to top the Indians, 8-6, on Tuesday at Progressive Field.
A day after the Rangers' bullpen gave up five runs in the final three innings, closer Keone Kela gave up a game-tying grand slam on a hanging 0-2 curveball to Michael Brantley with two outs in the ninth.
