Cleveland Indians outfielder Choo Shin-soo lifted his club with a game-winning RBI against the Toronto Blue Jays.

In the top of the seventh inning at the Rogers Center Stadium, Choo’s double earned a go-ahead run ending a three-game losing streak.

The 28-year-old was struck out in the first inning but he laid the groundwork for a chance to score with a hit as a leadoff hitter in the fourth.

After the Tribe loaded the bases with a hit and a walk and another walk by Jason Donald, Choo gave them a 1-0 lead.

The Blue Jays tied the game with a Jose Molina home run in the fifth.

In the seventh Asdrubal Cabrera reached first on a walk and scored when Choo sent the ball to deep left-field near the foul line.

Choo lifted his batting average to .295 going 2-for-5 with one RBI and one run.

The Korean outfielder, called Choo-Choo-Train by the fans, is now the team’s leading hitter with 47 RBIs and 13 home runs as well as boasting the best batting average.
