The Tribe loaded the bases a number of times yesterday. A whole lot of times. We are talking about five different innings. And although they did get runs from those many opportunities, four came via a walk and one via a sacrifice fly. Nary a hit to be seen. But they still left the bases loaded four times yesterday. In total, they went 0-7, with 4 walks and a sacrifice fly when the bases were loaded.
Stranding 18 runners in a baseball game is no easy feat. During the past 25 years, it had happened just three times to the Indians before yesterday:
- The first in that time span occurred back in 1992 when the Tribe lost to the Red Sox 7-5 in 19 innings at Cleveland Stadium.
