3. Other Cleveland offensive notables

On Saturday, Lindor went 0-for-4 from the plate. On Sunday, however, the the All-Star shortstop went 2-for-5, recording his 50th multi-hit game this season, and added in two RBI.  In the sixth inning, he recorded an RBI single to right that plated both Kipnis and Melky Cabrera and put Cleveland up 7-2.

Edwin Encarnacion also hit his 28th home run of the season, with a two-run homer to left during the eighth inning to give Cleveland a 10-4 lead. It’s the third homer he’s hit since making his return from the disabled list just four days ago.
