CLEVELAND: Indians manager Terry Francona had said the Indians would like to see more of a balanced offensive approach.
He got a semblance of it Wednesday night in a 6-2 win against the Milwaukee Brewers (53-74) at Progressive Field.
The top third of the lineup, which powered the Indians (60-66) to an 11-6 win Tuesday night, produced again and got some additional help.
Trailing 1-0 in the second inning, the bottom third of the order — Abraham Almonte, Jerry Sands and Jose Ramirez — went single, walk, walk to load the bases with two outs against Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (10-10).
