(The Sports Xchange) - The Cleveland Indians have a standard formula for winning, and Friday night all of it was on display: strong starting pitching, timely hitting and a lockdown bullpen. Francisco Lindor's two-run homer in the sixth inning accounted for all of the runs as the Indians beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0 in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series at Progressive Field. Cleveland's Corey Kluber pitched 6 1/3 innings and combined with two relievers on a seven-hit shutout.
