CLEVELAND – Roberto Perez supplied the tiebreaking RBI by hitting an infield single with two out in the eighth inning of the Indians’ 3-1 win over the Rays.
Jordan Luplow homered in the fourth off Nate Snell, who gave up just four hits over 6 2/3 innings.
Shane Bieber matched Snell with his second straight dominant outing, striking out 10 in five innings to help Cleveland end a four-game skid.
With the bases loaded, Perez, who missed the past two games with a concussion, hit a slow roller off José Alvarado that third baseman Daniel Robertson charged but couldn’t field with his bare hand. That allowed Francisco Lindor to score the go-ahead run.
Alvarado then walked in another run.
