Hand may actually do it....and he did.

Yay, we won one!

And we may never lose again!!

Reyes is certainly an interesting hitter - pretty cool seeing his double to right center.

As the article posted earlier on showed the guy hits to all fields. As he develops that has to help him.

That’s why Reyes has a hard time laying off that high fastball. Cause when he hits one it goes out to right or right center.

The double last night was a breaking ball he went the other way with. Very impressive. Cerano must have lent him Jobu.

When I talked with Franmil Reyes recently about Progressive Field, here's what he said:

"When I get a lot of confidence like, 'This is my house, this is my place,' I’m going to do -- I’m telling you -- damage."

He just hit a rocket to the home run porch.

His top hand came off the bat as he was hitting ball. Still hit a breaking ball well into the left field porch area. Serious power that dude has.

Great to see him hit the decisive blow in this one - and Hand wrap up another successfully. Honorable mention to Clevinger.

To summarize Bieber was shaky early but battling through 5 the Tribe down just 3-2.

2 run shot by Plawecki to make up for his blown rundown play earlier.

Great to see Yu Chang get his first hit and make a great defensive play at third!

Seriously? Can you make this stuff up?

Chang triples in the bottom of the 7th to lead off then Plawecki (the guy who mishandled that rundown earlier) now singles him in. Plawecki has now driven in all 3 runs.

Bieber went on an unreal run after those first few innings to go 7 full. Absolutely amazing recovery to end up with a very good outing. Only the best turn things around like that.

Interesting coincidence: the debut of Willi Castro and the second career game for Yu Chang today; were both SS in our system and we could afford to trade one [for Leonys Martin] since we had the other available. Willi has had a great year in AAA and is younger although Chang had been rated slightly higher in the past. Good luck to both.

Wittgren issues a walk and then a homer to Soler [his 36th]

valuable newish addition to the pen Phil Maton walks a pair to load the bases; he faces Arteaga, and after a foul Maton follows with a pair of balls; swinging strike evens the count on a 90 mph fastball This is a true case of power against power; 7 ERA vs 190 batting average. Ball 3 for a full count, but Phil successfully brings in one run already as that one was a wild pitch; and then makes the WP irrelevant by finishing the walk. we really don't have to wait for Sept 1 for Otero to replace this guy.

almost as new=comer Hunter Wood "relieves" to yield a 2 run double. that leaves us with a 5 run deficit and 2 innings to go. Reyes homer cuts it to 4.

9th inning; Lindor homers we still need 3 with 2 outs to go.

well I;'ll be darend, Reyes follows 2 singles with a 2 out homer to tie.
