Indians 5, White Sox 4: Cleveland’s HBP counts

With the bases loaded and the game tied at 4 in the eighth inning, Matt Davidson was hit by an Andrew Miller slider.

The problem? First-base umpire Lance Barrett ruled that Davidson could not check his swing. It was a coin-flip check that went against Davidson, and so Melky Cabrera had to return to third base. Davidson struck out for the fourth time in as many plate appearances, and so did a pinch-hitting Kevan Smith to leave ‘em loaded.

With the bases loaded and the game tied at 4 in the ninth inning, Gregory Infante drilled Brandon Guyer with a fastball up and in.
