Following tonight’s 5-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles, the Indians extended their current win streak to 16 games. Tonight was Cleveland’s 17th shutout of the year, which leads the MLB, and is the most in a single-season since 1976 (also 17).
The Indians are now 29 games above the .500 mark which is the highest mark above .500 since 2008 when the team was 96-66. Cleveland is 9-0 to start the month of September and is the best start to any month since September of 1911.
The first place Tribe has scored first in all 16 games of the win streak and has outscored their opponents 56-11 through the first to third innings.
The team combined for 11 strikeouts tonight which makes 79 games this season that extends their Major League record to 79 games with double-digit strikeouts this season.
Tomorrow the Indians will be looking to add another game to their win streak when they send Josh Tomlin to the hill and will be opposed by Gabriel Ynoa.
First pitch is expected to be at 1:05 PM EST and will be broadcasted on FOX.
