Indians Shutout White Sox for 2nd consecutive day, Three Takeaways from 7-0 Victory

3.) Speed Kills

The Cleveland Indians not only had great hitting and pitching tonight, they also had great baserunning.

The Indians stole a total of 4 bases in tonight’s game. Brantley started things off with his 3rd stolen base of the season and was followed by Lonnie Chisenhall (1), Ramirez (2), and Santana (1).

The Indians must enjoy when Geovany Soto is behind the plate, in a game against the Angels in August of 2016 the Indians stole at least 5 total bases against Soto.

And by four stolen bases, I mean five stolen bases. I was sick the day they taught counting in school.

The Indians have won 5 straight games (all on the road) and will look for the series sweep against the Chicago White Sox tomorrow. The Indians will be sending Danny Salazar to the hill and will be opposed by Derek Holland.

Holland and Salazar have opposed each other once already this season on April 12th. Holland and Salazar both went 6 innings in that game but Holland and the White Sox came away with the victory in that matchup.

First pitch tomorrow will be at 2:10 PM Eastern Standard Time.
