Game 2: Cleveland's Brandon Woodruff (8-7, 4.20) at Oakland's Adam Wainwright (10-8, 3.38)
The Tribe jumps out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning on RBI singles from Jake Lamb and
Brad Miller, immediately quieting the boisterous Oakland crowd, and depressing the mood
even further in the fifth as Gleyber Torres singled in Ronald Acuna Jr. to make it 3-0.
The A's respond in the bottom half of the inning, getting a walk from Cameron Maybin and
Mookie Betts' two-out single before Brandon Woodruff surrendered a three-run homer to Jose
Altuve on the first pitch, going right after him instead of pitching around the dangerous
3-hole hitter. Game tied, 3-3.
Miller leads off the sixth with a walk, with the A's bringing on Adam Ottavino in response.
After inducing a grounder by Carlos Correa to force Miller at second, rookie left fielder
Dylan Carlson takes Ottavino deep to make it 5-3 Indians. The A's get the first two runners
on in the sixth, on Will Smith's single and an error by Gleyber Torres that allowed pinch-
hitter Josh Fuentes to reach base, but could not score them.
The bullpen floor collapses on the A's in the next inning as the Indians string together
five runs, all unearned and with two outs, keyed by Fuentes' error to lead off the inning
and Maybin's throwing error that allowed the last run of the inning to score for a 10-3
Cleveland lead. The A's added two late solo homers, from Altuve in the seventh and Andrew
McCutchen in the ninth, but it's not enough to avert a second straight loss on their own
field. Cleveland wins 11-5, leads series 2-0.
