The Indians continue to float around the .500 mark, and are going to have to make an honest-to-god run at some point, if they're going to get serious about playoff contention. A week in which they play Minnesota and Houston would seem to be a good time for such a run. The Twins lineup isn't exactly filled with imposing hitters, so hopefully Trevor Bauer can keep the Tribe's run of strong starting pitching going, and hopefully the bats can do more than they did last week, when they topped 3 runs only once.
