Cleveland Indians' Trevor Bauer credits defense in 5-3 win over Texas Rangers

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez didn't know the ball was in his glove until he got to his feet and felt it in there.

When he realized his dive behind third base to stop Adrian Beltre's sharp grounder wasn't in vain, he bounced a throw across the infield to Carlos Santana for the second out of the sixth inning. Shin Soo Choo moved from second to third and Elvis Andrus went from first to second on the play, but if the ball had gotten past Ramirez the score would have been tied, 3-3, Wednesday night.
