Kipnis’ Walk-Off HR Sends the Red-Hot Indians to a 3-2 Win in 10 Innings Over the Royals

CLEVELAND – A two-plus hour rain delay followed by extra innings usually isn’t the type of thing you want to start a series, but in the case of the Indians they will take it, as they got a 10th inning blast from Jason Kipnis to send them to a 3-2 win over the Royals at Progressive Field.

The rain delay started with the Royals up 1-0 midway through the fourth inning, and by the time the skies opened up again, most of the announced 15,413 were in their cars listening to the game.

Those that did stick around saw a pretty good game as the Indians had a 2-1 lead into the 8th inning, but the Royals were able to scratch a run across to send the game into extra frames.
