CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians defeated the Texas Rangers 5-3 last night in manager Terry Francona’s return to the team.
Trevor Bauer pitched into the seventh inning, Michael Brantley drove in two runs for Cleveland.
Francona was cleared to come back after another health scare forced him to leave Monday’s game and miss Tuesday’s contest. The 58-year-old Francona has been fitted with a heart monitor, but he said doctors have ruled out any serious health issues.
