With the Indians up 3-0 entering into the 7th, Zach Godley and the Tribe looked to be on cruise control. Within a few hitters, and two outs in between, Godley walked off the field, up 3-1 with Hunter Pence, hitless on the year, coming up. Francona called to the pen and brought in Juan Nicasio. Nicasio would give up the next 4 runs, a single to Pence (driving in two) and a home run to Buxton, and the Indians would relinquish the lead.
In the 8th inning, however, Travis Shaw lead off with a double. With one out, and a runner on third, Marwin Gonzalez flew out to RF to score Shaw from third. Wellington Castillo then drove a ball very deep to LF, and it looked to have the carry to get out. And then Hunter Pence flew through the air to bring that ball back to Earth on the wrong side of the fence. The Indians would never truly threaten again.
Next Up: The Indians head to Los Angeles to face the Angels. Cleveland will send Steven Matz (0-0, 0.00) to the mound to face the Angels' Jonathon Loaisiga (0-0, 0.00).
