      Notes/records


      On March 31, umpire Mike Winters became the first umpire to initiate a review under Major League Baseball's new replay system, wanting to confirm that Athletics catcher John Jaso did not block the plate unnecessarily as Michael Brantley attempted to score.
      On April 10, Danny Salazar became the first pitcher in the modern era (since 1900) to record 10 strikeouts before the end of the fourth inning of a game.
      On April 24, Corey Kluber became the first Indians pitcher to throw a complete game with 11+ strikeouts, 0 walks, and 0 earned runs since Len Barker's perfect game on May 15, 1981.
      On May 4, George Kottaras became the first player in franchise history to hit home runs in his first two at-bats as an Indian.
      On May 14, David Murphy and Lonnie Chisenhall both had 5 hits, the first time two Indians players had done so in the same nine-inning game since 1928.
      On May 21, the Indians defeated the Detroit Tigers 11-10 in 13 innings on a walk-off balk, the first one in the majors since July 4, 2011, and the first in extra innings since June 16, 2011.
