The Indians led for most of the night until things fell apart in the eighth inning in a 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Indians (2-3) led 1-0 thanks to Francisco Lindor’s first home run of the season, a solo shot in the fourth inning off of Rays (3-4) starter Matt Moore. From there, Corey Kluber (0-2) cruised until the Rays tied it 1-1 in the seventh after Corey Dickerson doubled and scored on Desmond Jennings’ RBI single.
In the eighth, things quickly went down hill. With a runner on, Logan Forsythe ended Kluber’s night with a two-run home run to give the Rays a 3-1 lead. Cody Allen entered the game, walked Logan Morrison and then allowed a two-run home run to Evan Longoria.
Kluber threw 7 2/3 innings, allowed three runs on four hits and two walks and struck out six in the loss.
