ABOUT LAST NIGHT: Ji-Hwan Bae launched a two-run homer to take an early lead and the Indians did not look back as they earned a series-opening victory over the Clippers on Tuesday night, 5-2. The lead was secure as starting pitcher Bryse Wilson earned his fifth win in six starts with just one run allowed in 5.0 innings. A leadoff double by the Indians newest major league rehabber, Greg Allen, led to the eventual game-winning run scoring in the fifth inning. Wilson was followed by Mike Burrows, who in just the second relief outing of his career, spun 2.0 hitless innings with four strikeouts.
