Tribe Turns on the Turbo: Cleveland ties single-game franchise record in steals
Led by Rajai Davis and Jose Ramirez, the Indians were all over the base paths on Friday.
From the onset of the game, the 35-year-old veteran Davis set the tone for the Tribe's historic night. After drawing a lead-off walk, Davis immediately tested Angels rookie Tyler Skaggs by bolting for second to record his first steal of the night.
On the very next pitch, Davis got a healthy jump and recorded his 30th steal of the year by taking third base.
Another stolen base? Try 2 of them, back-to-back.@rajai11davis worked his magic once again for the@Indianshttps://t.co/pZhWpby3PI

Well aware of the veteran the next time he reached base, Skaggs kept him close multiple times as he was being a nuisance. Davis ended up taking off once again and got another steal.
Ramirez, who extended his hitting streak to 16 games, joined Davis with a trio of steals as well.
In addition, Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor each had one.
