The Indians had nine hits on the afternoon, seven of which were contributed by Francisco Lindor (4) and Michael Brantley (3). The Royals had 8 hits on the afternoon, 6 of which were contributed by Jon Jay (3) and Jorge Soler (3). What I’m saying is that this quartet battled it out behind their respective starting pitchers while the rest of the teams took the day off.
After being up 9-5 last night and allowing five unanswered runs, things picked up right where they left off this afternoon when Jon Jay hit a high bouncer to Jason Kipnis that kissed his glove and rolled into right field.
