Chris Johnson doubles off the wall in his first Tribe at bat.

Kluber couldn't a lead last time out and a couple others recently. He has 3 runs to work with and he's been perfect through 3.

I think he'll hold this lead. We are really bludgeoning Hughes right now. Everything he throws.

Almonte with another homer!

7-0

Another Home Run for Babe Almonte. 7-0 for the New Look Power-hitting AAA-lineup Tribe

Johnson just singled his 2nd at bat. Beautiful job of hitting. Waited back on a slow curve and smacked it the other way.

And another double for Johnson

Almonte now matches Swisher's 2015 homerun total.

Johnson is 3 for 3 today including a pair of doubles. That gives him 3 more hits than the Twins have managed in 6 innings against Kluber. Corey has walked one batter. 61 pitches to get 18 outs. He should be able to last about 11 innings today, but I don't think that will be necessary.

Brantley with his 3rd hit today too. Must be up to around .313 now.

Damn. Mauer just breaks up the no no with 2 outs in 7th

Is Abe related to Ken Aspromonte?*

Kinda crazy the way the newbies are doing so well. And the team finally with some life.

won't last, but it's fun for awhile.

Twins starters over the weekend, totaled 9 innings, 24 runs. Wow

Heard new nickname for Almonte:

Abraham, the Emancipator.

Urshela with some gymnastics along with a flashing glove.

And Johnson gets blessed by the baseball gods to get a double play.
