Tribe’s Francona out of hospital

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona was hospitalized for the second time this month and missed the team’s 2- 1 loss Tuesday to the visiting Texas Rangers. Bench coach Brad Mills managed in Francona’s place.

Francona, 58, left the Rangers- Indians game Monday because he wasn’t feeling well. The Indians said he had tests at the Cleveland Clinic, and doctors have ruled out major health issues for now. He was released from the hospital and is expected to return to normal duties Wednesday.

Francona also was hospitalized after a game June 13 at Progressive Field. He was released a few hours later and returned to work the next night.

In the game, Adrian Beltre hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth inning — the 450th of his career— to lift the Rangers to victory.
