CLEVELAND, OH -- Tribe lead off man Myles Straw set the tone for Cleveland's offense, launching his first career lead off homer of his career off of Jordan Lyles. The Indians went on to pummel Lyles for 8 runs through the first 4 innings, and would go on to seal the game by the final score of 10-6.

Every single bat in the Indians lineup contributed at least one hit in an impressive onslaught of slugging. Bradley Zimmer roped in 3 RBi, including a 465-foot moon shot to right field, as he now maintains the two longest homers hit by tribe bats this season. Trevor Stephan stepped in for long relief after Hentges was pulled in the 5th inning, tossing 2 2/3 innings of work while giving up a lone run.

The Indians will host the Boston Red Sox for a three game weekend series starting on Friday. First pitch is set for 7:10 pm ET at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.
