CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians, whose slumbering offense finally stirred to life Friday night, will host the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday night in the second of their three-game series.
Cleveland won the opener of the series 13-3. The victory was a welcome one for the Indians, who had lost six of their previous seven games and had only scored 14 runs in the six losses.
Blue Jays pitchers, meanwhile, took a beating Friday night. Four Toronto pitchers combined to give up 13 runs and 15 hits, eight of them for extra bases. The bullpen got the worst of it, to the point that reinforcements may be in order.
