Walk away: Indians rally again, keep AL Central hopes alive

By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND (AP) — César Hernández’s RBI double with two outs in the ninth inning helped Cleveland rally for its third walk-off win in four days, a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Indians’ sixth straight win kept their hopes alive for winning the AL Central.

Before the comeback, the Indians had one hit.

Pinch-hitter Jordan Luplow and Delino DeShields drove in runs before Hernández took his turn at being a hero.

Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller pitched five no-hit innings.

He’s the first NL pitcher with back-to-back no-hit outings of at least five innings since Johnny Vander Meer threw consecutive no-hitters in 1938.
