Indians Lick Rockies, 11-2
The Cleveland Indians topped the Colorado Rockies, 11-2, with second baseman Cesar Hernandez playing a big role. Hernandez was 1 for 2 with a home run, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 4 times and drove in 2 for the Indians in the win. Zach Plesac was the winning pitcher. Over 6 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, with 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. With the win, Cleveland upped its record to 83-59.

It could have been a different outcome for Cleveland, had it not been for Carlos Santana, the 34-year old first baseman . Santana contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put Cleveland up, 2-0.

"We did a lot of things right," said Hernandez.
