The Indians continued its experiment as to whether or not an elite baseball team needs an offense in a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Carlos Carrasco pitched 7.1 innings, allowing only one run and striking out seven. His ERA dropped to 2.31 on the season. Andrew Miller and Cody Allen finished up the eighth and ninth, earning a hold and save respectively. Neither has allowed an earned run on the season.
