Indians Lose Key Bat Missing Week With Alvis Hurt
The Cleveland Indians drop two games as Max Alvis strains his right knee and will miss the weekend and likely the rest of the week. Alvis ended an 11 game hitting streak with no hits on Saturday, raising his average to .277. Manager Alvin Dark laments ongoing poor play as the team opens a 110 game road trip Tuesday. Stan Williams and Paul Lindemans were reportedly unavailable, with catcher Ray Fosse noting their struggles. The road trip continues toward a June 6 return to Lakefront Stadium for a series with the California Angels.
