1 walk and a second inning single allowed.

Slacker

I love to watch Raj run the bases. Singled, then stole second and third! Shades of Kenny!

Sox hold a solid lead on walks have now surpassed 300 and the Angels trail way back at 262. Tribe ranks a distance last trailing the field by 13.
We're 5th in pitchers' strikeouts; paced the league last year while also lowest in walks; ratio was just under 4x1 last year. About 3.7x1 this go around, still very impressive.

EE with a 2 run double; we're up to 7-0. Josh Tomlin needs to start limbering up. The lead is almost safe enough. George Kontos should get his debut too.

another walk, 3rd of the inning, 2nd unintentional; followed by a wild pitch. This is getting silly.

and then Kipnis homers so it's 11-0 still in the 6th inning.

Another quick inning for Kluber. Not quite 100 pitches, but why extend him any longer?

That wild pitch cost Kipnis a Granny!

after his 6-run 6th, Bruce Rondon's brought his ERA up to 6.75. That's roughly McAllister-Goody-Olson-Otero country.

just looking at the box score, I note that both Lindor and Ramirez with his 10th steal of the year. Those two kids are awfully good.

Here's George.

Who is George Kontos?

starts his Indians' career with a strikeout.

So did Bob Feller. perhaps.

and then a walk. Indian pitchers don't walk batters. Time to get rid of this guy. He's already pitched just as much as Oliver Drake did.

Who is George Kontos?

I don't think anyone knows for sure. But they held a drawing during the 7th inning stretch and pulled his name out of a hat. So he gets to pitch the 8th
