Zimmer Homers, Drives In Go-ahead Run As Indians Beat Angels

CLEVELAND (AP) — Bradley Zimmer isn’t playing like someone who wasn’t called up from the minors until May 16. In fact, the rookie center fielder is a big reason why the Cleveland Indians are playing their best baseball of the season. Zimmer hit a home run on the game’s second pitch and drove in the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning double and Cleveland matched a season high with their sixth straight win, 10-4 over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night. Zimmer’s two-out double off the wall in left-center against Ricky Nolasco (4-12) broke a 2-all tie. “It’s a great feeling, obviously for me, but for the team and momentum moving forward it’s even bigger,” Zimmer said. Zimmer hit a grand slam and crashed into the wall for a game-saving catch in the 10th inning of Tuesday’s 11-7 win.
