Yankees end Indians home win streak; three takeaways from the 2-1 loss

2. Danny Salazar was dealing

Salazar did not factor into Saturday night’s decision, but despite the loss, still had a good outing.

Salazar’s night was about as good as the Indians could hope for. He ended the night giving up just four hits, three walks and one run in seven innings.

He also struck out 12 batters in the process, a new career-high. It was the second time in 2017 that Salazar struck out at least ten batters, and in his last three starts, he’s struck out 28 batters total.

Salazar has looked like a completely different pitcher since coming off the disabled list at the end of July, and his performance should have been enough for a Tribe win. Ultimately, the lack of offense sealed Cleveland’s fate.
