Pillar Leads Charge, Cleveland Blasts Athletics
The Cleveland Indians topped the Oakland Athletics, 13-3, with center fielder Kevin Pillar playing a big role. Pillar went 4 for 4 with 4 singles and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Indians in the win. The winning pitcher was Noah Syndergaard. His record is now 19-4. The right-hander went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits for the Indians. The winning streak has now reached 6 games for Cleveland.

It could have been a different outcome for Cleveland, had it not been for Marcell Ozuna, the two-time All-Star . Ozuna contributed a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put Cleveland up, 3-2.

"I like our mindset right now," said Cleveland manager Mitchell King.
