In the 6th inning on Monday night, Coco Crisp dealt a significant blow to his former team by sending a 1-2 Drew Pomeranz offering over the Green Monster. With Jose Ramirez on second base, Crisp’s two-run home run against the former Indians’ top prospect gave the Indians a crucial 4-1 in the 4th inning. Watch the clip below:

A mid-season addition through a trade with Oakland, Crisp had only hit three home runs against left-handed pitching all season long – making him the second unlikely Indian to hit a crucial home run is as many games: Lonnie Chisenhall hit a three-run home run against David Price in Game 2, his first home run off a lefty in 2016.
