Double plays and home runs doom Cleveland Indians in 5-2 loss - Let's Go Tribe

Double plays were the theme of the game; the Indians hit it into a metric ton of them, and the Orioles took advantage of potential double plays that weren't turned. In the first inning, Chris Davis beat out a potential inning-ending double play, and that lead directly to one run and indirect to two more when Mark Trumbo followed with yet another home run.

The Indians hit into three double plays, and wouldn't score until the ninth inning. The big story of the weekend thus far is that the Indians have just one run against Baltimore starting pitchers, who are among of the worst in the AL.
