Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Not a great display of baseball on most fronts. This was not a fun baseball game. It started off pretty fun, but it quickly nosedived into a flaming crater of despair. The fun part(s) Carlos Santana demands your attention. He added two more hits on the year, including his 31st home run in the first inning. That would be all the offense that the Indians could muster for the majority of the game, but Santana at least gave us all the illusion that this would be a fun day of baseball. His other hit was a double in the third inning that would’ve tacked on another run had it not been for Francisco Lindor getting thrown out at the plate. Speaking of Francisco Lindor, he also gave the team a glimmer of hope in the eighth with a two-run homer to right center. Prior to the home run, the Indians were down 9-2, so it wasn’t a monumental home run, but it was nice at any rate. The final bit of offense came in the ninth when Greg Allen split the gap in center field to drive in 2 runs. This brought the Tribe total to 6, which normally would be enough to get the win. Unfortunately, this was not the case today because of... The no-good pitching Zach Plesac is having a phenomenal rookie campaign, and today’s game doesn’t change that narrative too much. But he did throw out a clunker today, highlighted by home runs by Ji-Man Choi and Tommy Pham. He wasn’t missing many bats today as evidenced by the six swinging strikes.
