Cleveland jumped out to a 7-0 lead on the strength of a two-run Trayce Thompson triple and homers from Leonys Martin and Carlos Santana, but Brooks Pounders was pounded in the sixth. Seven straight batters reached, punctuated by a grand slam and the inning only ended by pinch-runner Terrance Gore getting caught stealing. The Royals would add a five-run ninth to turn it into a laugher and force me to spill over the ninth inning into the eighth inning column on my scoresheet. While I always laugh at the way scorekeepers lose their heads over batting around, scratching out existing column headings and throwing their top and bottom of the inning columns out of alignment (although many people use two pages so this isn’t immediately apparent), I will allow that when a team bats around in your last column, it’s a pain to deal with.
