Kikuchi’s late start continues . . .

but, he ends up with decent numbers in his first loss (6IP ~ 5H ~ 3ER ~ 3 BB ~ 5 K)

the ‘pen did no favors (also allowing THREE runs)

K’s a plenty but, O looking up a bit . . .

• Mitch, leading the AL in extra-base hits, extends his hitting streak to SEVEN
• Edwin + Omar extend the homer streak to NINETEEN games
• TWO doubles ~ TWO homers ~ FOUR walks

a tale of fielding  . . .

After the M’s get to within ONE (via back-to-back jacks from Edwin and Omar) a fabulous catch by Allen robs Ryon in the bottom of the 8th

Then flubby fielding in the top of the 9th gets the Tribe back up by TWO to stay (you don’t want to see it and I don’t want to dwell on it but, they have GOT to address this – soon).

Let’s start fresh tomorrow . . .
