Indians-Red Sox: Six reasons to watch tonight's game
Here are some of the story lines that we'll be following during tonight's broadcast on SportsTime Ohio and on FOXSportsOhio.com.
Make sure you tune in to Indians Live at 6:30 prior to tonight's game at 7. Also, we'll have a brand-new Tribe Report following our post-game Indians Live!.
INDIANS GOING STREAKING?: The Tribe has been hot of this weekend, continuing some excellent play at home. The Indians have had two four-game win streaks in May, can they make it five in a row to start off June?
WHAT WILL WE SEE FROM TJ HOUSE?: The Indians youngster has been inconsistent. He hurled a terrific game against Chicago, but struggled against Baltimore in his first outing. Was that just rookie nerves, or is it youthful inconsistency?
WILL CHISENHALL AND BOURNE STAY HOT?: Both players are doing very well at the plate. Bourn, whose bobble head is being given away tonight, has hit in 15 of his last 16 games, while Chisenhall has been hitting the heck out of the ball during this home stand. The third baseman is hitting a very nice .385 during the Tribe's four-game streak.
WILL PEAVY CONTINUE TO BEAT THE TRIBE?: Jake Peavy has thrown the ball very well against the Indians, dominating them in his last outing while with the White Sox. He's won four of his last five starts against the Indians.
IS THE LUCK AGAINST BOSTON CHANGING?: The Red Sox have been a very streaky team. Are they headed to a down cycle? The Indians could use some better games against the Red Sox: They've lost 11 of their last 135 against Boston.
DO WE HAVE A NEW CLOSER?: Cody Allen just recorded his third save in the last four games. He's been very strong, holding opponents scoreless in six of his last seven outings?
