Jake Odorizzi pretty well-controlled Cleveland’s offense over six innings, but the only hit he allowed was a Hanley Ramirez homer in the fourth. Jorge Polanco scored after tripling in the bottom of the inning, and a tense affair continued until the ninth. Carlos Santana singled off Blake Parker with one out, then moved up on two wild pitches and eventually scored on Greg Allen’s sacrifice fly. In the bottom of the inning, Brad Hand yielded a leadoff double to Byron Buxton, retired the next two hitters, then intentionally walked Nelson Cruz and walked Eddie Rosario. (Aside: Cruz was lifted for a pinch-runner after the fifth pitch to Rosario (notation PR 4-9(AE)), as that made it a 3-2 count and ensured that runner, the winning run, would be off with the next pitch). Hand then coaxed CJ Cron to pop to shallow right to finish the save.
