The opponent did just enough at the plate, while the Cleveland Indians’ offense was unable to provide much of anything.
I should probably clarify. After all, the above sentence now accurately describes more than a few games from this past week. In fact, tonight’s loss against the Minnesota Twins was almost a carbon copy of Friday’s defeat.
Once again, Minnesota’s thunderous lineup was prevented from doing too much. Yet, once again, it didn’t matter.
Thanks to another quiet night from Cleveland’s offense, three runs was all the Twins needed to take home a 3-0 victory.
