Bieber Sharp in Earning 15th Win Carrasc

The Indians winning ways continued Friday night as they played their first of their final three regular season home games at Progre sive Field, topping the National Jon Gray Jersey League's Philadelphia Phillies 5-2. The victory a sures that the Indians would stay at worst tied with the Tampa Bay Rays for the final wild card spot in the American League. Tampa rallied from down 2-0 to eventually do just enough to top the Boston Red Sox 5-4 in St.Pete on Friday night in 11 innings. It's the 91st win of the season for the Tribe, not bad for a team that has been as beat up in both their starting rotation and everyday lineup than just about any team in the Majors this season. Here's a look at how things went down Friday night at Progre sive Field on a perfect evening for Chris Iannetta Jersey September baseball.1. Bieber Looking Like Himself Indians starter Shane Bieber has had some up and down games as of late, but Friday against the Phillies looked a lot more like the All-Star game MVP than the guy that has at times it seemed was worn down and a bit off his game. On the night Bieber went 7.1 innings, allowing two earned runs with no walks and seven K's, moving his 2019 mark to 15-7 on the year. Bieber threw 101 pitches, and with his effort his ERA now stands at 3.23. With Bieber and Clevinger and the development as of late from Aaron Civale, the Indians could be a dangerous team IF they can find a way to get into the playoffs and win that one-game wild card game.

Not a Dry Eye in the Stadium It was hard to Adam Ottavino Jersey hold back the emotions when Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco came into the game, getting the final four outs to earn the save for the Indians in the 5-2 win. Some have wondered if the team pushed Carrasco too hard to get back, but the Indians pitcher who was suffering from leukemia earlier this season looked sharp in the four-out effort on Friday. Carrasco did walk a batter, but in the 17 pitches (12 were strikes) he looked like the old Carrasco, and was able to Antonio Senzatela Jersey get the outs needed to get the save and close out what was a great night for Indians fans.3. Five Runs More Than Enough With Bieber looking solid on the mound the Indians built a 4-0 lead, and after the Phillies made it interesting in getting it to 4-2, they tacked on an important insurance run in the seventh to push the lead to three runs. The stars on offense included Oscar Mercado who went 2-for-4 with two runs batted in, a double in the first to score Frankie Lindor and a huge two-out single in the seventh to make it 5-2. Carlos Santana was the only other Indian to have two hits on the night, and the other runs batted in went to Lindor, Santana, Yasiel Puig and Franmil Reyes. You give the starters five runs it usually means good things, and Greg Holland Jersey that was again the case Friday night.
