CLEVELAND — Indians manager Terry Francona watched his team's 2-1 loss Tuesday night on television after being released from the hospital.
The result and vantage point were much better Wednesday night.
Trevor Bauer pitched into the seventh inning, Michael Brantley drove in two runs and Cleveland beat the Texas Rangers 5-3 in Francona's return to the team.
Francona was cleared to come back after another health scare forced him to leave Monday's game and miss Tuesday's contest. The 58-year-old Francona has been fitted with a heart monitor, but he said doctors have ruled out any serious health issues.
