The Indians winning ways continued Friday night as they played their first of their final three regular season home games at Progressive Field, topping the National League’s Philadelphia Phillies 5-2.
The victory assures that the Indians would stay at worst tied with the Tampa Bay Rays for the final wild card spot in the American League.
Tampa rallied from down 2-0 to eventually do just enough to top the Boston Red Sox 5-4 in St.Pete on Friday night in 11 innings.
It’s the 91st win of the season for the Tribe, not bad for a team that has been as beat up in both their starting rotation and everyday lineup than just about any team in the Majors this season.
