"this will not count as an official no-hitter" so back to two.

It may not count as an official no-hitter but the Indians have been no-hit 3 times in 84 games.

9 in a row... back to .500

Wake up Tito....You may have lost this team.

Yeah and I know where to find it. On the IL.

Meanwhile Columbus and Akron are looking for their pitchers. Wait, they are in Cleveland working their way back to the minors.

Only one minor leaguer on a break through sprint upward is the Other Logan Allen. Last year's top pitcher in the draft Tanner Burns is erratic at Lake County so probably wont' be ascending to Akron as Logan Jr. just did.
Rotation will soon feature Plesac and Peacock but three of current clearly not ready for prime timers will keep their roles. The only one who should be ready for the major leagues now is Quantrill and he has totally flubbed his chance to cinch a job as a starter. Perhaps they should work on the Kevin Cas bullpen game approach, it certainly worked in game 2 today.

Plesac carefully put on and took off his t-shirt and worked 3 innings and allowed one run which is far superior to anyone else who's started recently.

With our first hit since the first game yesterday Mercado doubles to lead off the 3rd and now we have 3 chances to bring him in.

Zimmer walks so we have two on none out.

Carlos Hernandez delivers a key doubleplay. Man on 3rd two out for the only healthy Rosario

Rosario ties the score!! no sorry, his single didn't score the run.

Jose pops up to end the threat.

Here's what I missed:

Hernandez' double play eliminated the runners at 3rd and at 2nd. At least he avoided a triple play

Old friend Carlos Santana homers to make it an unsurmountable 2 run deficit

Another homer and it's 3-0. Looks like the streak will hit double figures.

Or not! Long live the Franimal!

Look, the way Franmil has hit since he has been back makes it all the more obvious how devastating having 3 rotation members AND Franimal out at the same time was. Pathetic.

Two rallies in one game, pretty impressive. Unfortunately we're seeing another flaw with Clase and Karinchak both having trouble holding leads. But they won so who's complaining
