Indians Take Advantage of Angels’ Mistakes to Earn the Sweep

Abraham Almonte went deep for the Indians’ second grand slam in two days.

How do I put this nicely? For much of the 2015 season, the Indians were hot garbage at the plate when the bases were loaded. As a team they were batting well under .200, and seemed to find new and creative ways to screw up prime opportunities. This weekend against the Angels, in a span of just two games, the Indians managed to hit two grand slams. In both cases the Angels opted to intentionally walk Lonnie Chisenhall and it ended up coming back to bite them.
