Mike Aviles had a rough night at the plate in Friday's loss to the Orioles, going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. He also left three men stranded on base. While he's a fine utility player for the Indians, he has been exposed a bit when pressed into everyday action with the injury to Jason Kipnis. With the rough night, he's now hitting .266/.290/.371 on the season.

Mike Aviles went 3-for-4, hitting a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Indians defeated the Twins 4-3 on Wednesday.

After Yan Gomes grounded out to shortstop, the Indians' chances at a win suffered a serious blow, but Aviles sent them home happy with an RBI single to shallow center. Aviles has done a good job as a utlityman, as he now has a .303 average and .338 on-base percentage on the season.

Mike Aviles was ejected from Sunday's game against the Mets for arguing after he was caught stealing in the ninth inning to end the game.

He certainly voiced his displeasure over the ruling to the umpiring crew though, as his ejection after the game had ended was virtually meaningless.
