How Good So Far are the Cleveland Indians TV Ratings in 2018?

The Indians are two games into the second half of the season, and after the team picked up two much needed relief pitchers this last week and the team topped the Rangers in the first two games out of the box of the second half, interest in the team seems to be growing.
The teams fans are also very loyal when it comes to watching on television, as Kevin Kleps of Crains Cleveland tweeted out recently that the Indians have the #2 following in all of baseball when it comes to television ratings.
STO's primetime ratings average of 6.69 for Indians broadcasts is beating the No. 2 network in the Cleveland market by 64%.

This is not exactly breaking news when it comes to the high ratings, as Indians fans over the last few seasons have always been tuned to their TV sets to watch the Tribe.
Last season interest peaked when the team went on a historic win streak in September, putting up a 10.85 rating in the final month of the regular season.
The team's average rating for 2017 was at 8.05, up 27 percent from 2016 and also good for second in Major League Baseball.
