What a Long Night, Indians Split Doubleheader with Jays After 13-4 Win; Three Takeaways

2. Runs a Plenty

The story all season long has been the lack of consistency with the Indians offense. Then when things were going right, most of the runs were coming via home runs, so many wondered what exactly to think of the Tribe offense through the first month or so into the season.

All those critics are oddly quiet right now as the Indians bats have come alive over the past few games, scoring 49 runs over their past five games. Yes you read that correctly, the Indians have scored 49 runs off of a remarkable 71 hits in the last five games.

As if knocking the ball over the ballpark wasn’t impressive enough the Indians also broke their season record for most runs scored in a single inning, not once but twice on Thursday.

The first time being in the 4th inning of game one in which Cleveland scored seven runs, then the Tribe broke the record again just hours later scoring nine in the 5th inning.

This was the first time that a team has scored seven or more runs in a single inning in both games of a double header since July 22nd, 1975 when the Oakland Athletics did it.
