9th Inning Nailbiter; Indians 2-0 After 4-3 Win Over Rangers – Three Takeaways from the Victory

2. Top of the Order Magic

The Indians were able to grind out seven hits on the night, and four of them went to two of the top three guys in the lineup, Carlos Santana and Michael Brantley.

CSan slammed a homer to start the night for the Tribe and give them a fast 1-0 lead, and Brantley was able to get in a huge insurance run in the 7th, driving in a run with a single that scored Austin Jackson.

It’s just two games in, but Santana is hitting .500 and Brantley .333.

The second guy in the order, Francisco Lindor, we hear he’s pretty good too. He was 0-for-3 Tuesday, but was able to draw a walk in the win.
