Francisco Lindor and Edwin Encarnacion hit sixth inning home runs and the Cleveland Indians beat the Cubs 4-1 to salvage the final game of their two game interleague series in Cleveland. Lindor’s leadoff homer against Cub starter and loser Jon Lester (2-1) broke a 1-1 tie and then Encarnacion added another solo blast with two outs. Indian starter Trevor Bauer (2-2) held the Cubs to 1 run on 4 hits in 6 2/3 innings to pick up the victory. Cody Allen pitched the ninth for his fifth save. The teams split the two game series at Progressive Field. The Cubs return to Wrigley Field Thursday night to open up a four game series with the red hot Milwaukee Brewers who have won 8 straight.  It will be Youlys Chacin (1-1) for the Brewers and Kyle Hendricks (1-1) for the Cubs in the opener. You can catch the action on Lite 103 WAKO beginning with the pregame show at 6:30 Central Time 7:30 Eastern.
