INDIANS DUMP BOSOX
Edwin Encarnacion homered twice to help AL Central-leading Cleveland earn its fourth straight victory, 7-3, over East-leading Boston in Fenway. In a rematch of last year’s ALDS, which Cleveland won in a three-game sweep, Trevor Bauer (11-8) struck out 11 over 6.2 innings for his fourth consecutive win. He allowed three runs — all on solo homers by Red Sox rookies. Rafael Devers had two and Andrew Benintendi one.
l Giancarlo Stanton hit his team-record 43rd home run, connecting in his fifth straight game and sending host Miami over San Francisco, 8-3.
