Hey, it can't get worse than last night, so let's go win ourselves a ballgame!

Danny Salazar will get the start for the Indians, looking to overcome a dreadful performance last night at home. The Indians have been very poor at home this year and need to find a way to win within the confines of Progressive Field. The culprit is pitching. Last night skews the totals, but in 2 less games they've scored 3 more runs at home than on the road, but given up 60 more. Yes, 60.

I just needed you all to know that. So, yeah, if they could go ahead and bring that road pitching on home anytime, that'd be great.
