#285---CLE @ KC, 4/4/2019




This is the kind of back and forth game that illustrates why I don’t think trading the convenience of seeing the whole game on one page for extra room on the scoresheet is worth it. The Indians got a leadoff homer from Leonys Martin and added two more in the first, but Corey Kluber didn’t have it, surrendering two homers in the second for four runs, and two more runs in the third, being knocked from the box after just 2 2/3 innings with 89 pitches and 5 walks. Cleveland trailed 8-5 going into the seventh, but scored three off Richard Lovelady to tie it. The Royals set the Tribe down 1-2-3 in the eighth and ninth, and in the home half Brad Hand was up 0-2 before walking Ryan O’Hearn. Pinch-runner Terrance Gore swiped second, took third on a throwing error, and came home on the next pitch went Hunter Dozier lined a single down the left field line.
