Tribe Strikes Early But Falter Late, Blue Jays Win 8-4; Three Takeaways From The Victory

2) Top of the line-up heating up?

Franciso Lindor had two hits in each of the final two games vs the Tigers this week, and his hot streak continued as he had three more hits Friday night. Not only did Lindor tally three hits, he also crossed home plate twice for two of the Tribes four runs.

When your leadoff hitter is able to get on base like Lindor has these past few games, your offense is really tough to stop by simply putting pressure on pitchers at the top of the line-up.Combine that with the bats of Jason Kipnis and Jose Ramirez heating up as well and the Tribe offense really clicks. Kipnis and Ramirez combined for 2H, 1 R, and 1 RBI.

Friday night was a special one for Lindor as he notched his 100th career double in the seventh inning.
