Indians Beat Sox Again 6-3 Behind 10 Ks

CLEVELAND - After a shaky start that saw him allow a run in the first three batters he faced, Indians starter Mike Clevinger settled in and was dominant for the third time this season, leading the Tribe to a 6-3 win. Clevinger was helped out by a wild second inning by White Sox hurler Carlos Rodon, as the Tribe eventually pushed acro s four runs in the inning to open up a lead they would not lose. The win puts the Indians at now 39-33 on the season, and in this most recent homestand they are now 3-2 after losing the first two games over the weekend to the Los Angeles Rams Men Jersey Twins. The victory puts Clevinger at 6-2 on the season, and drops his ERA to a perfect 3.00. Here's three takeaways for the Tribe, who host the Sox Wednesday with a 1:10pm first pitch.1. More About Mike It's been fun in 2018 to see the development of Indians starter Mike Clevinger, who went 7.2 innings, allowing a run on five hits with 10 strikeouts in the win. The team has trusted him to go later in games, and that was shown again Tuesday as he threw 114 pitches, the third most in his career. Clevinger said his mechanics during the game were on, and that he and catcher Yan Gomes were on the same page all night, as he only called him off one time, Tyler Hall Jersey showing again how important it is to have a good backstop. On the season Clevinger now sits with a mark of 6-2 with a 3.00 ERA. He's also on pace to go over 200 innings, which he said was a goal in 2018.2. A Wild SecondScroll to Continue White Sox starter Carlos Rondon had a second inning to forget, allowing four Indians runs to cro s and all of them coming with some crazy circumstances. First he walked Edwin Encarancion in four pitches, and then plunked Brandon Guyer on the first pitch of the next at bat. Yonder Alonso drew seven pitches before a single which scored EE, and then in six pitches Yan Gomes drew a walk to load the bases. Jason Kipnis popped out to short in three pitches, and on the fourth pitch Allen Robinson Jersey to Rajai Davis Rondon threw a wild pitch which allowed Guyer to score to make it 2-1. Davis drew seven pitches before he lined out, but Francisco Lindor broke the game open with a three-pitch single to make it 4-1. Michael Brantley then grounded Jalen Ramsey T Shirts to second in two pitches to end the crazy inning. All in all, Rondon threw 37 pitches in the inning, and while the Indians have had their i sues with him in the past, it was good to see them get a lead and keep it.3. A Sloppy Night on Defense The Indians didn't exactly look smooth in the field on Tuesday night, as they committed three errors, one of which forced Terry Francona to go to Cody Allen in the 9th with the tying run for the Sox on first. Jason Kipnis pulled a lazy play by dropping a routine relay from Francisco Lindor in the first inning, and later on it was Mike Clevinger with a throwing error to first allowing a Sox runner to advance. With the game set to be over in the 9th with two outs, Erik Gonzalez, who came in for Kipnis, booted a very routine grounder that would have finished the game and not made Francona go to his closer. While the errors didn't hurt the team in terms of turning a win into a lo s, the way Troy Reeder Jersey that this season has gone this team has got to be more focused and not allow a team like Chicago on a night like Tuesday to hang around with sloppy play.
