As soon as Mitch Moreland made contact in the fifth inning, I had a sinking feeling that that was the ballgame. Perhaps you felt the same, too. As it turned out, the Indians did get one run on the board, but thanks to the Sawx scoring a second run in the eighth (more on that later), the Tribe still was destined to come up short anyway.
So why the cynical thoughts? After all, this is a team that leads the AL Central, and is coming off one of their best stretches of baseball this season. Corey Kluber was on the mound to boot.
