CLEVELAND -- One swing was going to decide Game 1 of the ALCS on Friday night (CLE 2, TOR 0). Marco Estrada was masterful, flummoxing the Indians with his changeup in his eight-inning effort. Corey Kluber had to grind, but as Cy Young winners tend to do, he still tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings even when at something less than his best.
The game was decided in the sixth inning, when Estrada left one of those changeups up to 22-year-old wunderkind shortstop Francisco Lindor, who smacked the game-winning two-run home run to right-center.
