2. Middletown native Kyle Schwarber showed he was ready after missing nearly all of the regular season with a knee injury by slamming a double in his second at-bat, but he also struck out twice and stranded three.

3. Those first two runs were all Indians ace Corey Kluber needed. He was dominant while striking out nine in six innings.

4. Ace Cleveland reliever Andrew Miller gave up two hits and walked two in two innings, but he stranded three runners in the seventh and two more in the eighth.

5. Roberto Perez was the unlikely offensive hero for the Indians, smashing two home runs, including a back-breaking three-run shot in the eighth inning.
