Today in Baseball History:
- 1979 — Carl Yastrzemski reaches the 3000 hits milestone when he singles off Yankee Jim Beattie.
- 2017 — The Indians tie the American League record for consecutive victories when they defeat Detroit, 2 - 0, for their 20th straight win. The record had been set by the 2002 Oakland Athletics in the season depicted in the book and movie Moneyball. Corey Kluber pitches a five-hit shutout to lead Cleveland while Francisco Lindor hits a lead-off homer off Matt Boyd in the 1st.

- Could the A’s bullpen become a strength?
THAT is how Luzardo can impact this race to the postseason. Think Petit. Now think lefthanded, 97+, & with crippling secondary offerings. Between Luzardo & Petit you can wiggle out of a jam & keep your team in the fight & cover 12 outs if necessary. #ArmsRace
