Indians sweep A’s, scoreless streak ends
CLEVELAND (AP) — It wasn’t even a bad pitch that ended the Cleveland Indians’ scoreless streak.
An unearned run against Aaron Laffey on his own throwing error halted the starting rotation’s run of 44 1-3 consecutive shutout innings, but didn’t interrupt their string of dominant outings.
Laffey pitched the Indians to a 4-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday, completing a three-game sweep and giving the surging Indians eight victories in 10 games.
‘‘When you talk about five guys — to do it day in and day out it’s impressive,’’ Laffey said. ‘‘It’s just been an incredible week of starting pitching for us.’’
Cleveland completed a 6-1 homestand in which it allowed runs in just four of 64 innings. The starters went 6-0 with a 0.16 ERA and haven’t allowed an earned run in 50 1-3 innings.
