There is the pleasure of watching a well-pitched game, and then there’s the pleasure of watching your team win a slugfest. You can’t have both.
Jeanmar Gomez struggled, allowing 6ER in only 5 IP (0 Ks, 1BB), but the Tribe lineup beat up on Tigers’ starter Max Scherzer, scoring 8 runs in only 4.1 IP. A good win, and the Good Guys go for the second straight sweep against the Kitties at 1:05 EST on Thursday, before a 15 game inter-league stretch starts Friday in St. Louis.

I was there. Fun win.
emoji invasion!!!
Looks like it was a masterpiece by both bullpens. A total of 1 earned run, 3 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings of relief work combined.
Gald we got to them early.
