Francona on Murphy, Bauer in win 2:09 7/8/15: Indians manager Terry Francona discusses David Murphy's go-ahead hit and Trevor Bauer's pitching performance in Cleveland's 4-2 win CLEVELAND -- David Murphy dug into the batter's box in the eighth inning of the Indians' 4-2 victory against the Astros on Wednesday with the go-ahead run on second base. His platoon partner, the right-handed-hitting Ryan Raburn, was seated on the bench in the dugout.
Murphy looked out to the pitcher's mound and observed a foreign sight. The pitcher he was facing had the baseball gripped in his left hand.
