CLEVELAND — Yan Gomes’s walkoff three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning capped a furious rally and gave the Indians a 4-1 win over the Colorado Rockies 4-1 last night.
The Indians rallied for four runs in their last at-bat. After Austin Jackson tied it with a two-out bloop RBI single, Gomes connected on the first pitch from closer Greg Holland (2-3), driving it into the seats in center field to touch off a wild celebration in Progressive Field.
The Indians ended a two-game skid and took a four-game lead over Kansas City in the AL Central.
Indians All-Star left fielder Michael Brantley is undergoing more tests after spraining his right ankle in the fifth inning of Tuesday’s 4-1 win over the Rockies.
Brantley is batting .299 with nine homers and 52 RBIs in 88 games.
He was limited to just 11 games last season due to right shoulder surgery.
