Mercado and Wittgren Save the Day for the Indians in 8-6 Wild Win Over the White Sox

On any given night you never know who may save the day for the Indians. If you would have said Wednesday it would be a combo of Oscar Mercado and Nick Wittgren many likely would have said you were crazy.

But like it or not, it was those two that came up big when it looked like the bullpen would have another implosion, as the Indians hung on for dear life for an 8-6 win over the pesky White Sox.

Cleveland is now just 7-8 against Chicago this season, but this win was necessary for a number of reasons, mostly due to the way that Tuesday night ended, but also that the team had what looked to be a comfortable 8-2 lead at one point.
