Indians win a weird one in extra innings

That’s exactly how a bizarre, extra-long game against the Indians and Cardinals ended this afternoon, with a future Hall of Fame catcher standing in no man’s land while a future Hall of Fame first baseman (let me dream) can’t believe his eyes and prepares to put him in an easy rundown to end it in the 12th. Without Tyler Naquin doubling home Mike Freeman in the top of the 12th, we might still be watching these two do something resembling baseball for another four or five innings, at minimum.
