Ohtani shines in Angels 7-4 win over Indians

3.  Good things to come

Friday night was the Progressive Field debut for Leyonys Martin, and it was one he’ll remember. Martin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in the 9th to pair with his RBI single in the second. The newly acquired outfielder has hit he ball well since joining the Tribe, going 5-for-8 in his two games since joining the team from Detroit at the trade deadline. Martin has hit an impressive (.333) at Progressive Field this season between his time with the Tigers and Tribe.

Friday the Indians announced Andrew Miller was going to be activated in time for Friday nights game. Cleveland  manager Terry Francona wasted no time giving his bullpen ace some major league game action. The crowd erupted when the flames shot up in center field when Miller trotted out to the mound in the 7th. Miller looked good in his first appearance since going on the DL on May 25th. Miller faced four batters, and while he didn’t have his best stuff, Miller still was able to work through the inning rather quickly. As the season winds down, and the postseason approaches major-league reps will be most important for Miller.
