CLEVELAND, Ohio – Leonys Martin has struggled at the plate this season. On Thursday, he struggled in center field.
Martin misplayed a fly ball hit by Elvus Andrus in the first inning that ended up being an RBI Triple. Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor wasn't pleased with Martin's effort, which led to a heated exchange between the two in the Indians dugout.
