The Japanese star ''feels good,'' after Sunday's start, Scioscia said. The Cleveland Indians loved the sight of 35-year-old Edwin Encarnacion chugging around the bases on his way to a standup inside-the-park home run. The other word Indians fans are using is indicative, as in this one painful play pretty much sums all that has looked off or gone wrong for the club on the field in 2019. Despite posting a record this season, 2019 really hasn't been the Cleveland Indians year. Get browser notifications for breaking news, live events, and exclusive reporting. Manager Mike Scioscia said it's possible that Ohtani will be the DH on Tuesday night.
'Tis the season of smaller, less flashy trades, andthe Royals are on the hunt for some pitching depth. Both Ryan Howard and Ryan Zimmerman were cleared of all outstanding PED allegations in a statement issued by MLB on Friday. That ball almost left the park for a boring old walk-off home run.
Jose Ramirez tied it with a solo homer, then Tyler Naquin delivered a magical moment
Upton leaned over the short fence for just a moment, apparently thinking the ball had landed foul. By the time Upton chased it down and threw it in, the 230-pound Encarnacion was steaming around third base on his way to scoring standing up. Naquin's memorable walk-off inside-the-park home run Aug. 19 against Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna became the signature moment of the 2016 regular season.
If anything, Thursday’s loss was a painful reminder of just how far they have to go. That means the Twins will enter Memorial Day weekend with an MLB-best 33 wins, while the Indians fall to eight games back in the division. Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays did nothing to change that perception. In fact, one painful play only further highlighted Cleveland’s malaise.
The Indians hit their first walk-off inside-the-park home run in 100 years
It is also known as an "inside-the-parker", "in-the-park home run", or "in-the-park homer". Indians outfielders Leonys Martin and Oscar Mercado experienced a malfunction at the junction while attempting to chase down Kevin Kiermaier's flyball in the sixth inning. The result of which led to a painful collision and allowed Kiermaier to race around the bases with a game-breaking three-run inside-the-park home run.
Then, Cleveland outfielder Tyler Naquin stepped up to the plate and smashed an inside-the-park walk-off home run to end the game 3-2. On July 13, 1896, Ed Delahanty of the Philadelphia Phillies hit four home runs in one game , two of which were inside-the-park home runs. This event was the only time any homers in a four-homer game were inside-the-park. Blake's long drive to center field off Jason Grilli on July 25 hit the wall and chased home Victor Martinez for a 12-7 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning. Encarnacion became the first player in Major League Baseball age 35 or older to hit an inside-the-park home run since Derek Jeter in July 2010 against Kansas City.

Santana's blast Aug. 31 off Tigers pitcher Jose Veras hit Austin Jackson's glove just in front of the wall in straightaway center field. Jackson crashed into the fence and was shaken up for a moment as Jason Kipnis and Santana came all the way around to score. But Jackson would get his revenge in the bottom of the eighth inning, smashing a line drive triple to left field off Cody Allen that ignited a four-run Detroit inning and led to a 10-5 Tigers win.

Naquin came up to bat following Ramirez and hit a 1-2 pitch which ricocheted off of the right field wall and the Toronto center fielder fell down while attempting to throw the ball. Meanwhile, Naquin was given the green light to keep running and slid head first into home plate to win the game and start the celebration. Facing future Hall of Fame lefty Randy Johnson in the bottom of the first inning on April 15, Bell hit a ball deep down the left field line that got away from ex-Indians outfielder Glenallen Hill.
Encarnacion hit an inside-the-park home run against L.A. It was Encarnacion's third home run in two days and the second inside-the-park homer of his career. The Blue Jays had an 89.4 percent chance to win the game after Carlos Santana popped up for the first out of the ninth inning.
Ex-Indians pitcher Jeremy Guthrie has been victimized twice by the Tribe, allowing a pair of three-run inside-the-park home runs to his former team. Meanwhile, the Detroit Tigers as a team have allowed four of the Indians' inside-the-park homers in that span. Down one going into the ninth inning, Jose Ramirez ripped a solo home run to tie the score at 2-2.
Gordon was replaced by Jarrod Dyson, who hit an inside-the-park home run of his own in the 6th inning of the game. Dyson's hit went past Rays left fielder David DeJesus, who, like Gordon, had been injured five years earlier, on July 22, 2010 while playing for the Royals on a play that led to an inside-the-park home run for Derek Jeter. However, in the modern era, with smaller and circumferential outfields and walls defined by minimum standards, the feat has become increasingly rare, happening only a handful of times each season. On July 18, 2010, Jhonny Peralta of the Cleveland Indians hit a three-run inside-the-park home run when Detroit Tigers outfielder Ryan Raburn crashed through the bullpen fence while trying to catch the ball.
This shows each team's chances of winning the game at any point based on the score, the number of outs, the number of runners on base, etc. All Osuna had to do was complete the inning and give his team's high-powered offense a chance to go to work. Friday night in Cleveland, two first-place teams met in what could have easily been a postseason preview.
