“Just a bit outside… and the Indians are in trouble!”
Hi everybody, Harry Doyle here at Jacobs Field, where the Toronto Blue Jays marched into Cleveland and smacked the Indians around to the tune of an 11–6 win in Game 1 of the Division Series!
Now folks, this one didn’t start with fireworks—but ohhh did it finish with them.
Toronto broke the ice in the third inning, and boy, did they do it with style. Mauro Polidori steps in, two men aboard… swings—and YOU CAN KISS THAT ONE GOODBYE! A three-run blast, and suddenly the Blue Jays are up 3–0 and the crowd here sounds like somebody just unplugged the jukebox.
Cleveland tried to hang around. They scratched, they clawed, they even made it interesting a couple times—but every time they peeked their heads up, Toronto knocked ’em right back down.
And how about Cory LeMond? The kid was everywhere! Three hits, a home run, two runs scored—he looked like he brought his lunch, dinner, and dessert to the plate. Player of the Game, and nobody’s arguing that.
Toronto kept pouring it on late—six runs over the eighth inning stretch—and by then, well… you could feel it. Indians fans were already checking the exits, checking the clock, checking their pulse.
On the mound, C. Strand wasn’t flashy, but he got the job done—six solid innings—and A. Clasby came in to slam the door like it owed him money.
Final score here in Cleveland: Toronto 11, Cleveland 6.
The Blue Jays take Game 1 on the road, and suddenly the always-dangerous Indians are the ones playing catch-up.
This is Harry Doyle saying: If this series keeps going like this, Cleveland may need more than a rally… they might need a miracle! ⚾��️
