1. Walking over the competition
The Indians got off to a hot start in the top of the first inning.
Francisco Lindor, Jason Kipnis and Jose Ramirez all drew walks at the top of the order off of Chicago’s Chris Volstad to load the bases with no outs.
Following a line-out from Edwin Encarnacion, Jay Bruce hit a sharp line drive to right field on a 93 mph sinker, allowing Lindor and Kipnis to score and put the Tribe up, 2-0.
In the next at-bat, Carlos Santana knocked a sacrifice fly to center, plating Ramirez and giving Cleveland a 3-0 lead.
Ultimately, those three runs would be all that the Tribe needed.
