Home runs fly as Indians lose 5-3 - Let's Go Tribe

Everything was going so well. The Indians had re-taken the lead, Corey Kluber was on cruise control, Andrew Miller was warming in the bullpen. But then the eighth inning started. One pitch to A’s rookie Matt Chapman, and the game was tied. Then, in the bottom of the ninth, a walk (by Miller), and then a home run (given up by Bryan Shaw).
