Indians Drop Pivotal Opener of Series with Twins in 3-2 Home Setback

By Jared Edwards

Leading off the bottom of the eighth inning Tyler Naquin smoked a double to right center and gave the Tribe a golden opportunity to tie the game up at three.

Instead, Jordan Luplow hit a weak grounder to short, Roberto Perez lined to right, and Greg Allen struck out. This stranded the 11th runner of the game. Six of which had been in scoring position.

Cleveland has gone a combined 1 for 19 with runners in scoring position in the last two games, both losses.
