Indians manager Terry Francona had said the Indians would like to see more of a balanced offensive approach. He got a resemblance of it Wednesday night in a 6-2 win against the Milwaukee Brewers at Progressive Field.
The top third of the lineup, which powered the Indians to an 11-6 win Tuesday night, produced again and got some additional help.
Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of 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).
