Indians End Season On Positive Note After 7-4 Win
Corrales says Indians showed steady progress in 1984 with a 75-87 record, five games better than last year. After a rough 17-33 start, the team finished 58-54 after the All-Star break and 26-17 in the final 43, including a six-game win streak. The June 13 trade with the Cubs reshaped the lineup and Sutcliffe’s Cubs contributions are noted.
