TOP PERFORMERS
You're my boy, Belyeu! The 74th overall pick in this year's draft homered for the second time in three nights and finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored, one walk, and his first career stolen base. Belyeu is now slashing .308/.438/.769 with 10 total bases and three walks through his first four professional games.
Obertop and Tucker went back-to-back in the bottom of the eighth to break open a tie game and send the Indians to their first win in four tries against the Canadians.
Flesland ran into trouble in the first, allowing three runs on homers by J.R. Freethy and Sean Keys, but kept the C's off the board over the next five frames to finish with a respectable line of 6 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K.
