CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Coming out of the All-Star break, the Indians continued their season in the same manner as the first half, including losing a four-game home series to the Chicago White Sox at Progressive Field. It was time to make some changes and some veteran players were traded. With that, rookies Francisco Lindor and Giovanny Urshela started getting regular playing time.
Lindor excelled after he was inserted into the No. 2 spot in the batting order. The first three hitters -- Jason Kipnis, Lindor and Michael Brantley -- gave the Indians a great top of the lineup.
