An Offensively Bad Weekend in Arizona Ends w/ Indians 3-2 Loss; Three Takeaways From the Loss

1. Oh Offense Where Art Thou?

Following beating the ball all over the park against the Rangers to start the week, the Indians bats were silent against Arizona all weekend, as the team managed a total of seven runs over three games, allowing the Diamondbacks to plate 21 in the sweep.

Sunday the Indians managed seven hits, but were shut down by Arizona starter Patrick Corbin through six innings. They finally pushed a crazy run across in the 7th on some unusual circumstances, and then in the 9th an error opened the door for the team to make it 3-2, but it was not enough.

After an impressive start on offense, the team simply didn’t seem to have it in Arizona, and through six games some of the early averages are pretty ugly to say the least, Jose Ramirez .182, Edwin Encarnación .217, Yan Gomes .071 and Yandy Diaz .217.

Yes it’s obviously really early, but this was three games the offense would quickly like to forget about as they get set to come home for Tuesday’s home opener.
