Lindor’s home run in 10th inning lifts Indians past Toronto
CLEVELAND — Francisco Lindor knows about good timing.
Shortly after a hard rain began to fall in the bottom of the 10th inning, Lindor hit a leadoff home run and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 on Saturday night.
Lindor belted a 2-2 pitch from Danny Barnes (2-3) to right field for his 15th homer of the season. He dashed through the rain drops only to be doused by several coolers of water as his teammates waited at home plate.
Winning the game with a home run in those conditions was the last thing on Lindor’s mind.
