After dropping Monday's series opener against the Oakland Athletics, the Cleveland Indians needed to come out of Tuesday's Game 2 with a win in order to keep pace with the scorching hot Twins in the AL Central. But you don't have to tell Francisco Lindor about the contest's importance. Check out the Indians All-Star shortstop crushing a moon shot of a leadoff home run to open the scoring just moments ago:
