CLEVELAND As much as the Indians’ bullpen has tried to be perfect all season especially the back-end trio of Bryan Shaw, James Karinchak and Emmanuel Clase it was bound to run into a hiccup. This time, it came at Karinchak’s expense.
The Indians had executed the perfect safety squeeze in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings, but Karinchak, who had entered the game having permitted just one run in 21 appearances, gave up a three-run homer to Kyle Garlick in the top of the 10th, leading to the Indians’ 8-5 loss to the Twins on Sunday afternoon at Progressive Field.

Hey, Hoynsie: I really liked Jordan Luplow’s walk-off homer against the Twins in the ninth inning on Monday because it meant the Indians won an extra-inning game without really utilizing the Little League runner on second scenario. I hate the funky speed up the game rules especially when they change the essence or strategy of the game itself. Do you think we are stuck with that rule beyond the COVID situation?
