CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Indians have 10 hits in the American League Championship Series and they belong to three players - Lonnie Chisenhall, Francisco Lindor and Carlos Santana.

Every other position player has a .000 next to their name. Granted it's a small sample size, but in the postseason all sample sizes are small.

Still, the Indians lead Toronto, 2-0, with the ALCS headed to Toronto where Games 3, 4 and 5 are scheduled. The Indians have barely outscored the Blue Jays, 4-1, but if they can win two of the next five games they're going to the World Series for the first time since 1997.

The Indians are hitting .182 (10-for-55) and the Blue Jays .159 (10-for-63). The one reason manager Terry Francona's team is leading the series is because they've outpitched the Blue Jays.

"We're up 2-0 and we've got five guys that haven't checked in at the plate," said second baseman Jason Kipnis. "It's nice to somehow scrape away two wins here. It definitely eases the pressure of going to Toronto."

Kipnis is one of the players who hasn't checked in. He's 0-for-7 after hitting .364 (4-for-11) with a homer and three RBI in the three-game sweep of Boston in the ALDS.

Mike Napoli is 0-for-6, as is Jose Ramirez. Roberto Perez is hitless in five at-bats, Rajai Davis 0-for-4, Brandon Guyer 0-for-3 and Tyler Naquin 0-for-3.

Napoli, by the way, is 2-for-18 in the postseason. The Indians, meanwhile, are 5-0.

"Our lineup top to bottom is just competing right now," said Kipnis. "Not everyone is going to be feeling good, not everybody is going to be a one-man wrecking crew. So everyone just stays ready and keeps competing because they never know when their number might come up."

In the first two games, Lindor's number has been called. Friday night, following a Kipnis walk, Lindor hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning off Marco Estrada. Corey Kluber and bullpen took care of the rest in a 2-0 win.

Saturday, Kipnis failed to score Davis from third with one out in the third on a fly ball to shallow left field. Lindor, batting behind Kipnis, sent J.A. Happ's first pitch into center field for a 2-1 lead.

"Frankie picked me up," said Kipnis. "That was huge of him."

Sometimes it doesn't take a hit to help. Davis, who scored the winning run Saturday, proved that.

Roberto Perez opened the third with a walk. Davis forced him at second on a grounder to short, but used his speed to run his way out of a double play. From there the AL stolen base leader continued to let his legs do the work.

He stole second with Kipnis at the plate. Then went to third on Happ's wild pitch.

"What I'm trying to do right there is get in scoring position," said Davis. "It's tough to score from first base. You need something special to happen and it usually doesn't. But if you're on second base, there are a lot of ways you can score.

"You've got to take advantage of opportunities. I had an opportunity to steal and I took it."

As for taking third, Davis said he had a big secondary lead when the ball hit the dirt.

"I felt I was really close to the base already," said Davis. "All I had to do was take a couple of steps and I'd be there."

Kipnis couldn't deliver Davis, who kept the faith when Lindor came to the plate.

"I was hoping - just hit the ball hard up the middle," said Davis. "Just to see him come through was a relief. It was like, "Oh, we've got the lead back.' Lindor has been really consistent for us the whole year."

Kipnis is expecting the wild-card Blue Jays to be rejuvenated with their home crowd behind them at the Rogers Centre.

"Rogers Centre might be the toughest place to play," said Kipnis. "Toronto's one of the places where when they close that dome, it gets especially loud. And it's hockey fans.

"And I mean that in best way because I'm a hockey fan, too. That's actually what you want out of a fan. You want that rowdiness. You want that one percent feeling that I'm not sure I'm safe right here on the field. But that's what makes Toronto and those fans so great. It's amazing how loud they can get."

As for the Indians who are hitting in the ALCS, that would be Lonnie Chisenhall .667 (4-for-6), Lindor .500 (4-for-8) with a one homer and three RBI and Carlos Santana .333 (2-for-6) with a homer and one RBI. There is an open invitation for the rest of their teammates to join them.
