Chisenhall’s Bat powers Tribe to 17-7 Victory

The Indians plowed right over the Rangers 17-7 Monday night while winning their 2nd straight and taking three-of four from Texas, in Arlington over the weekend. The Indians offense was just clicking along, aside from Jason Giambi, and Carlos Santana who both failed to collect a hit in the contest.

The Indians pitching was led by Scott Atchison, and John Axford who collectively went 3.2 IP without giving up a run. Atchison picked up the win. (3-0)

Lonnie Chisenhall is hotter than hot at the plate, and that is an understatement.  Chisenhall continued his tear Monday night going 5-5 with 3 HR’s and 9 RBI tying a club record. The third baseman is now batting .385 on the year with 7 home runs, and 32 RBI.

Jason Kipnis also went 3-5, with 4 RBI, and 3 Runs scored.

The Indians head to Kansas City Tuesday where they open a two game set, before heading to Boston.
