Indians Lose Doubleheader Opener to Jays 13-11 in 11 Innings; Three Takeaways From the Loss

2. Wasted Offensive Effort

The offense, which has been criticized most of the season, has now put up 38 runs in the last four games, and sadly two of those games the team has been on the losing end.

Thursday saw the team have their biggest inning of the season, scoring seven runs in the 4th inning after trailing 5-0, sending 12 men to the plate.

It was their biggest output for an inning since August 27th of last season when they scored 9 runs in the bottom of the second against the Royals.

Francisco Lindor hit a pair of homers, and Michael Brantley and Edwin Encarnacion each had three hits in the setback. The team pounded out 15 hits and five walks, but it just goes to show that without pitching, it all means little.
