The Indians' offense started strong, with three extra-base hits by the first three batters, including a solo shot via Jason Kipnis. It was the first time the team has accomplished the feat since Oct. 1, 2010, in a road game with the White Sox. Rajai Davis later hit a three-run shot in the second, erasing an early deficit dug by Cleveland right-hander Josh Tomlin.
Neither starter lasted long in their no-decision efforts.
