3. Tribe’s Offense Sputters- The Indians had the bases loaded in the first inning, something every offense dreams about. They produced but not to their liking. With a Brandon Guyer RBI single, Francisco Lindor came home to score the game’s first run. That would be the only run of the inning, however, as Cleveland would fail to bring anyone else across home plate.
That would ultimately haunt the Indians in this one. Despite an RBI single by Jason Kipnis in the fifth inning, they just couldn’t get the bats going after a disastrous conclusion to the end of the first frame. Jose Ramirez and Edwin Encarnacion would both go hitless and that seemed to hurt the flow of the lineup. Without those heavy hitters producing, the rest of the lineup can’t seem to get anything going momentum-wise.
