2. Walking the parrot
In the fourth inning, the Indians took their lead for good on an Edwin Encarnacion homer to left field.
Austin Jackson got on base in the lead-off spot because of a throwing error. Two at-bats later, Encarnacion stepped to the plate.
On the 2-1 pitch, Encarnacion drove the 83.5 mph changeup pitch an estimated distance of 415 feet into the left field bleachers. It was his 36th homer of the season.
The play was especially huge, considering that in the first inning Francisco Lindor had a homerun overturned after a crew-chief review revealed it was a foul ball.
Encarnacion ended the game going one-of-three from the plate with two RBIs.
