The Indians failed to capitalize on a sparkling effort from ace Corey Kluber, who allowed two runs on four hits over seven innings, matching a season high with 10 strikeouts. It was the first home run Miller had allowed since, guess what, the World Series.
"Home run never even crossed my mind when he hit it", he said. Originally, the second-base umpire ruled Bellinger out, but a challenge overturned the call and kept the inning going. Fifteen of the 22 runs scored in this series have been charged to relievers.
Shortstop Francisco Lindor moved him over to third base with a bloop single down the right-field line, and left fielder Michael Brantley brought the Indians' first run across the plate with an RBI sacrifice fly to right. It was his tenth home run of the season.
After crossing home plate following his second-inning drive Tuesday night, Puig raised both middle fingers in the direction of fans seated in the dugout suites located on field level at Progressive Field. On Wednesday, the Dodgers scored four times in the eighth inning on the way to a 6-4 win.
Kluber retired the first four batters he faced, but with one out in the second inning, Grandal drew a walk.
Yasmani Grandal walked with one out and went to third on a double by Chris Taylor. Kluber retired Logan Forsythe on a flyout to shallow right field.

According to Spanish newspaper Marca , Pepe told radio Onda Cera that he wants Ronaldo in France. This is very odd and in the next few days, I'll talk to him.
Indians: OF Brandon Guyer (sprained left wrist) is hitting on the field but no date has been set for when he'll begin a minor league rehab assignment.
In his last three games, Bellinger is 6-for-12, with five home runs and eight RBIs.
That tied the score, 2-2, in the fifth inning after Yasiel Puig had put the Dodgers ahead early.
Gonzalez's throw was wide and late. Bellinger drilled the 2-and-1 offering for his tie-breaking home run. The Indians rank near the top of the American League in team ERA, but that's mostly due to their stellar bullpen.
Puig went 2 for 4 with a strikeout in the Dodgers' 7-5 win over the Indians.
Francona was taken by ambulance to Cleveland Clinic where he underwent several tests. "It scared me a little bit, but everything checked out. I need to be better at getting ahead and throwing strikes", said Miller, who still is having an All-Star caliber season. But the Indians also had to deal with some poor defense, namely from Jason Kipnis. Puig is appealing the suspension and is eligible to continue playing.
