Alonso muscles up against O's with 5th HR

BALTIMORE -- In a four-game series that has had no shortage of homers, it was only fitting that the first runs in Monday's finale between the Indians and Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards came via the long ball. This time, it was Yonder Alonso who went deep, drilling a fastball from right-hander Kevin Gausman over the center-field wall to give Cleveland a 2-0 lead in the second inning.

After Francisco Lindor led off the game with a walk, Gausman retired the next three Indians hitters in order. Edwin Encarnacion singled to start the second, and then Alonso belted Gausman's second offering 421 feet.
