Indians jump on Nationals late in 3-1 win

The Indians flipped a no-hit bid for Max Scherzer into a victory Tuesday night, beating the Washington Nationals 3-1.

The Indians were being no-hit into the seventh inning until Francisco Lindor ended the bid with a one-out single. Jose Ramirez followed with an RBI-double to put the Indians up 1-0, and Lonnie Chisenhall later added an RBI-single to score Ramirez.

Leading 2-1 in the top of the ninth, Ramirez tacked on an RBI-single, giving the Indians an insurance run.

Going up against Scherzer, Trevor Bauer (8-5, 3.88 ERA) tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks and striking out four. Andrew Miller entered the game first among the Indians’ options in the back-end of the bullpen, allowing a run in one inning. Bryan Shaw worked 2/3 of an inning and Cody Allen notched his 21st save of the season in the ninth.
