Logs homer, pair of doubles Lindor went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, two doubles, three RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Tigers.
Impact Lindor entered Sunday's tilt with just seven hits in his last 41 at-bats, but the shortstop broke out in a big way in the series finale. After taking Michael Fulmer deep in the third inning, Lindor was able to add to his day with a run-scoring double in the seventh. Lindor is still slashing a pedestrian .233/.281/.422, but he will look to build off his big day when the Indians open a series with the Pirates on Tuesday.

Cracks third homer Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Reds. He was also caught stealing.
Impact Since getting off to a 2-for-14 start, Lindor has gone 9-for-30 with three home runs. He's still looking for his first stolen base -- Monday's attempt was his first -- and Cleveland is not running a lot as a team early on. That said, it would still be a surprise if Lindor didn't end up with a handful of steals by the end of the campaign.

Goes deep Thursday Lindor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's victory over Minnesota.
Impact Lindor accounted for the only runs of the game with a two-run blast in the third inning. The homer was Lindor's second of the season and fourth extra-base hit across 29 at-bats. He is batting only .207 (6-for-29) on the campaign, though he has driven in six runs in seven contests.

Outdueled Thursday Berrios (0-1) took the loss in Thursday's matchup against Cincinnati, hurling five innings and allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six.
Impact Berrios' second start of the season was a vast improvement over his initial outing, during which he gave up five runs across four innings. However, the right-hander was overmatched by a dominant Shane Bieber and handed his first loss of 2020. Berrios was pulled after five innings due to racking up a hefty 96 pitches, though the only real damage against him was a third inning home run off the bat of Francisco Lindor. Berrios will look for his first win of the campaign Tuesday when he faces Pittsburgh at home in his next scheduled start.
