CLEVELAND -- The Indians looked like they had finally solved Red Sox pitcher Doug Fister last week in Boston. On Tuesday night, the right-hander returned to his typical role as tormentor, handcuffing Cleveland's lineup for a complete-game, 9-1 victory at Progressive Field.
Fister, who has filled in admirably for David Price in Boston's rotation, held the Indians to one run on one hit and ended with six strikeouts and 13 outs via grounders. Backed by home runs from Jackie Bradley Jr. and Eduardo Nunez, the American League East-leading Red Sox maintain their 4 1/2-game lead over the Yankees.
