Tonight the Indians play the last of a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds that saw two wins at home and the Tribe’s first extra-inning win this season. A win tonight would match their longest winning streak of the season.
Right-hander Josh Tomlin (5-0, 3.82) will make the start for Cleveland against RHP Tim Adleman (1-1, 3.38). One of the things I like about Tomlin in inter-league play is that he can kind of hit, although he hasn’t had a major league at-bat since 2012. But if he ever wants to brag by withholding critical information, he can say he’s a career .571 hitter. (4-7 , four singles, one RBI, one run scored, three strikeouts in seven career plate appearances).
