2. Let it get away
Heading into the 8th innings the Indians and Angels were tied at 3-3, after combining for six runs in the first three innings, the teams failed to score until the Angels broke things open in the top of the 8th. Ohtani singled to left field, after Neil Ramirez had started the inning off by striking out Justin Upton. After a pitching change and a stolen base by Ohtani, the Indians choose to intentionally walk Albert Pujols. With two on, Adam Cimber was able to get the next Angels batter out, but then the wheels fell off.
Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller returned from injury Friday night. Making his first appearance since May 25th.
A long, difficult at-bat with David Fletcher resulted in a double that landed just inside the chalk on the first base side. Ohtani scored on the hit, giving the Angles a 4-3 lead, Andrelton Simmons scored on a Jose Briceno single, but the real back breaker Friday night came off the bat of Eric Young Jr. Young’s double scored two runs extending the LA lead to 7-3, while simultaneously sucking the air out the sell-out crowd.
