ST. LOUIS (AP) — Franmil Reyes homered and drove in five runs, Carlos Santana hit a home run and scored four times and the Indians routed the St. Louis Cardinals 14-2.
A group of approximately 100 protesters arrived outside Busch Stadium’s left field gate during the top of the first inning, chanting, “no justice, no baseball.”
The crowd dispersed during the top of the second.
Friday was Jackie Robinson Day across the majors.
Eleven big league games were postponed this week as teams protested racial injustice in the wake of Jacob Blake, a Black man, being shot by police in Wisconsin last weekend.
Tyler Naquin also homered as the Indians got 20 hits.
