CLEVELAND (AP) — Cody Bellinger hit a pair of home runs, his 16th and 17th of the season, to lead the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-5 win over the American League defending champion Indians in Cleveland Tuesday night.
Perennial all-star Clayton Kershaw Keuchel pitched seven strong innings for the Dodgers, running his record to 9-2, and Yasiel Puig also homered for Los Angeles.
Puig made an obscene gesture at Cleveland fans after crossing home plate following his second-inning home run, Puig raised both middle fingers in the direction of fans seated in the dugout suites located on field level at Progressive Field. He was booed for the remainder of the game. Puig said he was heckled in the on-deck circle, which is directly in front of those choice seats.
Kenley Jansen racked up his 12th save for the Dodgers in 12 save opportunities. Andrew Miller took the loss for the Indians.
