Tyler Naquin drove in the first run of the game for the Tribe. He reached on an error by Kansas City’s Witt Merrifield which scored Carlos Santana and moved Franmil Reyes to third. Josh Naylor would drive in Reyes with a fielder’s choice to give Cleveland a 2-0 lead after two.
Naquin would drive in his second run of the game with a sacrifice fly that would drive in Francisco Lindor. 3-0 Tribe.
