Plutko carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning and Andrew Miller provided stellar relief work, helping the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 1-0 on Wednesday night. “We know when (Plutko) commands everything, he can be pretty good,” manager Terry Francona said. The Indians also completed a sweep of their two-game set versus the Cubs in their first appearance at Wrigley Field since they lost the 2016 World Series. “High strikeout percentage versus Miller, and Javy’s possibly one of our best bunters,” Maddon said of his reasoning for the call. Cubs: Following an off day, RHP Kyle Hendricks (3-3, 3.40 ERA) starts the opener of a three-game series against San Francisco.
