The last time the Indians lost five games in a row they were closing out 2019 season and were already eliminated from the playoffs. They were a dead team walking, if you will. In a lot of ways, they look like a dead team walking now, too.
Despite having one of the best pitching staffs in modern baseball, the 2020 Cleveland Indians are struggling to make a case that they will make an impact this postseason. They sit at 26-20, 4-6 in their last 10 games and are riding a season-high five-game losing streak. Zach Plesac gave up a trio of home runs and Nick Wittgren allowed two more — the monstrous Twins offense has seemingly finally awoken.
