3. Power Surge
The Indians bats were somewhat silent both on Thursday and Friday, as Thursday they needed a Frankie Lindor three-run blast to beat the Angels in their final game of the sweep.
Friday they did little in the offensive department, as they were held hitless after the fourth inning and eventually Nelson Cruz’s 9th inning homer did them in.
Saturday was a totally different story, as the team went back to using the long ball and big innings to pound the M’s into submission.
Yan Gomes hit a pair of homers, and Frankie Lindor and Jose Ramirez joined the homer parade as well. The team slammed the Mariners over the last three innings with eight runs, including five in the 9th to make sure they wouldn’t have to worry about any Seattle comebacks.
Overall the Tribe put up 14 hits, six of which were either doubles or homers. A welcome sight after some offensive yawns the last two days.
