Yonder Alonso slugs a two-run home run in the second inning, which propelled the Indians to a 2-1 victory.
The Indians only managed four hits in Monday night’s game, and just two runs – those both came from a two-run home run from Yonder Alonso in the second inning. Two of those four hits came in that second inning (Edwin Encarnacion was on base due to a single), while Jose Ramirez doubled in the top of the third and Francisco Lindor singled in the top of the fifth. Otherwise, Kevin Gausman shut down the Indians lineup through eight innings, while Richard Bleier pitched a perfect ninth inning.
