Brantley singles then Jose hits a homer. We lead 2-0!

We are ahead 9-5 now!

Jose 2 run homer, Alonso with a solo shot, Naquin with a 2 run double, and Brantley with a grand slam.

Unbelievable. Score 9 runs and lose.

Glad Miller declared himself ready to pitch again.

I was hanging with my wife so couldn't watch as close as I normally would but I think he was topping out at 92.

Last year when he came back from DL I noticed he had lost some zip. I think he's lost a tad more. He threw 96-97 when we first acquired him.

In fairness whenever you come back from an injury you are going to hold back just a bit in fear that you may re-injure.

Not on purpose it's just human nature

Next outing should be interesting

They gave out Mr.Smile Lindor t-shirts at game today. And Frankie gave them something to smile about. 4-4 with 2 doubles and 2 homers in the 8th.

Have yourself a day, young man.

Still the worst nickname of all time though.

Lindor is 4-for-4 with 2 doubles and 2 homers out of leadoff spot. Last Tribe leadoff hitter to have 4 extra base hits in 1 game: Tito Francona on July 3, 1964 (father of Tribe manager Terry) vs. White Sox.

Guess he didn't need that hair for all his strength.

Meanwhile great work by Clevinger to keep the pressure off the bullpen.

Mike is proving to be just as capable a starter as any of the top 4 and more consistent than Bauer and perhaps Carrasco. The Legacy of Vinnie Pestano lives on

Erik Gonzalez joins the bottom of the order brigade today as Kipnis get a richly deserved day off. Gonzalez bats 7th, Allen 0-12 for the year follows, and Rajai Davis at 220 and ready to surrender his spot for Melky Cabrera brings up the rear.

I love the pink stuff! Tribe is up 9-0, top of fifth.

Yan Gomes' turn to "have a day" - 3 for 3 so far with a 3 run blast featured.

Would be reaaallly nice for us to see that guy come back to be the hitter he used to be.

He's using the whole field right now too. Really good to see.
