It’s been a rough homestand for the Tribe, who entered the night having lost four of five games since returning to Cleveland. But the offense woke up against Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night, as the Indians rolled to a 5-3 victory, which really wasn’t as close as the final score thanks to two 9th-inning runs by Texas.
The highlight of the game was undoubtedly the top of the order, as Jason Kipnis, Francisco Lindor, Michael Brantley and Edwin Encarnacion combined to go 8-15 and drove in four of the Tribe’s five runs.
