Tribe’s 9-run frame nets G2 win on bats’ big day

The Indians needed length from Adam Plutko on Thursday night and the rookie delivered in his first Major League start. Combine that with an overflowing amount of run support and an exhausting day ended with celebratory music in the Cleveland clubhouse. Powered by a nine-run fifth inning, the Indians cruised to a 13-4 romp over the Blue Jays in the nightcap of a doubleheader at Progressive Field.
