Indians Bats Silent as Yankees Win Game Three of the ALDS 1-0; Three Takeaways From The Loss

3. What’s Ahead

Monday night the Tribe will give the ball to Trevor Bauer, who threw great in game one and held the Yankees at bay all night in dominant fashion.

It was originally thought they would go with Josh Tomlin, but Tomlin was forced to give two scoreless innings on Friday in the 12th and 13th innings of the eventual 9-8 win for the Tribe.

They feel that Bauer gives them the best shot to win, and with the fact Monday’s game is being threatened with rain, who knows if the game is even going to get played.

Bottom line the Indians are going to have to score some runs this time to win this game, and can’t assume that Bauer is going to give them another shutout performance.

As for New York, they will go with All-Star Luis Severino, who was a bust in the AL Wild Card game last Tuesday against the Twins, and was pulled quick as the Twins took an early lead.

He should be fresh and ready to go, and he’s had a good track record against the Tribe in 2017, throwing a gem against them at Progressive Field back in the finale of the two teams four-game set in which he allowed a run on two hits with nine K’s back on August 6th.

The Indians will have to have better AB’s then they did that day in August, and also have to find a way to create more traffic on the bases than in game three Sunday loss.
