CLEVELAND – On a day that featured nearly eight hours of baseball Cleveland Indians fans have to feel rather good walking away with a 1-1 split in Thursday’s double header vs the Toronto Blue Jays.
Especially considering how well the Indians played throughout the day, it seems as if this team is starting to turn the corner. While most of the season has been inconsistent up until this point, late Thursday night the Indians were able to hang it up, and see what tomorrow brings. As the Tribe travels to New York for a three game weekend series.
The Indians offense was able to get production from all three levels of the line-up as they collected 16 hits, and were able to score 13 runs in game number two.
Tyler Naquin continues his impressive start to the season as he went 2-5 with a double, this marked Naquin’s fourth multi-hit game of the season, vaulting his average to a very impressive .394 at Progressive Field this season.
Thursday nights win marked the 1,500th win as a manager for Indians manager Terry Francona, thus thrusting him into rather elite company as he is just the 24th manager in MLB history to reach the feat. Also he is the fourth active manager to reach the milestone, joining the Giants Bruce Bochy, the Angels Mike Scioscia and the Orioles Buck Showalter.
Here are three takeaways from the Indians 13-4 victory of the Toronto Blue Jays.
