Signs of life discovered

No, the title of this article is not referring to life on Mars or other silliness. More important than that, the Cleveland Indians offense actually showed signs of life last night in San Francisco. This was expected to be a strong hitting team that could contend if the pitching wasn't lousy. Well, the pitching has been consistently better than average (Third in team ERA at 3.56) but the offense has been nearly non-existent (next to last place in BA at .245). Last night's game included back to back triples in the second inning and 14 total hits leading to 10 runs scored. Even more encouraging was Aaron Boone starting to climb out of his season long slump with his third multi-hit game in the last week.

The offense needs to feed off of Friday's success and carry it forward to get back in this race.
