Bourn currently leads the American League with 10 triples. Mike Trout and Chicago’s Adam Eaton each have 9, so unless one of them has a big weekend, Bourn will become the first Indian since Kenny Lofton in 1995 to lead the American League.

Michael Bourn will only watch Chris Sale pitch Friday.
(9/5/14) Indians center fielder and leadoff hitter Michael Bourn has been given Friday night off against White Sox stud left-hander Chris Sale.
Bourn is batting .214 against lefties this year and is hitless in five at-bats lifetime against Sale.
