Thirteen Unanswered Runs Leads To 15-9 T

Midway through the fourth inning against the Texas Rangers on Monday, the Indians looked like they were headed for their fourth straight lo s. The Tribe was down 9-2 after three rough innings from Carlos Carrasco, and their offensive struggles from the weekend series against the Twins Eric Dickerson Jersey seemingly carried over. What followed was one of the more improbable comebacks this season by the Indians. The offensive floodgates opened in the fifth inning as the Tribe rattled off 13 unanswered runs, ending their three game skid with a 15-9 win over the Rangers. Here are our three takeaways from the unlikely come-from-behind victory.1.The Fifth Inning Momentum Shift So how exactly did the Tribe overcome their largest deficit in a win since 2012? The fifth inning is a good place to start. Lonnie Chisenhall got things going with an RBI single scoring Jose Ramirez. Roberto Perez walked with the bases loaded to score Carlos Santana, and was followed up by Bradley Zimmer in the next at-bat with an RBI fielder's choice. Francisco Lindor knocked in the final run of the inning on an RBI single to center field. When all was said and done, the Tribe made it all Lamarcus Joyner Jersey the way through the batting order, and turned their seven-run deficit into a two-run deficit. That offensive power continued into the sixth inning. Santana recorded an RBI-single to right field, while Chisenhall recorded a two-run RBI single two batters later to give the Indians their first lead of the night, 10-9. Lindor and Jason Kipnis rounded out the inning with two more RBIs for the Tribe. In a two-inning span, the Indians turned a 9-3 deficit into a 12-9 advantage. For the first time since August of 2016, all nine starters recorded a hit, with eight of the nine starters recording multi-hit games.Scroll to Continue2. Runners In Scoring Position This was a category the Tribe struggled in big time over the weekend. Against the Cooper Kupp Jersey Twins, the Indians went just 1-for-23 with runners in scoring position, and effectively dropped their RISP batting average to fourth lowest in the American League. Against the Rangers, the Tribe went 11-for-28 with runners in scoring position, getting five more opportunities in one game than they did all weekend against Minnesota. Based on the available stats, the 28 at-bats with runners in scoring position are the most Josh Reynolds Jersey in one game for any Cleveland team since 1974. Perhaps most impre sive, the Tribe took advantage of their offensive opportunities without scoring home runs. The 15 runs plated marks the most by any Indians team without a homer since 1983. That's in large part thanks to Lindor, Santana and Chisenhall each recording three RBIs, with Perez and Zimmer also adding two apiece.3. Carlos Carrascos Early Struggles Regardle s of the win, Carrascos final stat line shows exactly how the Indians found themselves down 9-2 at one point. In just three and one-third innings, Carrasco gave up eight earned runs on just six hits. Three of those runs came via homers. He struck out seven batters while walking three. The bleeding began early in the first inning. After an RBI double from Nomar Mazara, Adrian Beltre belted a three-run homer to give the Rangers a 4-0 lead with zero outs. In the second inning, Ethan Westbrooks Jersey Carrasco gave up his second three-run homer of the night to Elvis Andrus. A final home run from Joey Gallo effectively ended Carrascos night with the Tribe in an 8-2 hole. One look at his pitch chart from tonight and it's clear that all of the balls that were belted were right in the heart of the strike zone: If it weren't for the offense bailing him out late, Carrasco looked poised to pick up his fourth lo s of the year. Instead, he ultimately ended up not factoring into the decision.
