Thirteen Unanswered Runs Leads To 15-9 Tribe Win; Three Takeaways

2. Runners In Scoring Position

This was a category the Tribe struggled in big time over the weekend.

Against the Twins, the Indians went just 1-for-23 with runners in scoring position, and effectively dropped their RISP batting average to fourth lowest in the American League.

Against the Rangers, the Tribe went 11-for-28 with runners in scoring position, getting five more opportunities in one game than they did all weekend against Minnesota.

Based on the available stats, the 28 at-bats with runners in scoring position are the most in one game for any Cleveland team since 1974.

Perhaps most impressive, the Tribe took advantage of their offensive opportunities without scoring home runs. The 15 runs plated marks the most by any Indians team without a homer since 1983.

That’s in large part thanks to Lindor, Santana and Chisenhall each recording three RBIs, with Perez and Zimmer also adding two apiece.
