context_page_description: The 2015 Cleveland Indians season was the 115th season for the franchise. The team played its 22nd season at Progressive Field. The team looked to improve upon their 85–77 record and third-place divisional finish from the previous season; however, the Indians finished in third place in the AL Central with an 81–80 record and missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season and the seventh time in the last eight seasons.
context_section_description: The Indians struggled to an 11-15 record during the month of June.  The team won 3 of its first 5 games of the month to climb to within a game of .500, but would then lose 13 of its next 19 games to fall to 33-41 and last place in the AL Central.  Kluber failed to record a win for the second month this season, and his record fell to 3-9 by month's end.  The Indians' struggles were shown most clearly during a double header in Baltimore on June 28.  The Tribe lost both games, 4-0 and 8-0, marking the first time since 1975 that the Indians were shut out in both games of a doubleheader.
  June also saw the Indians send opening day infielders Lonnie Chisenhall and José Ramírez to AAA Columbus and brought up infielders Giovanny Urshela and former first round pick Francisco Lindor.
  One bright spot for the Indians was the emergence of SP Cody Anderson.  In two starts in June, Anderson went 15 ​²⁄₃ innings, giving up only one earned run.  Anderson's second start on June 29 was the first of three consecutive starts in which an Indians' pitcher took a perfect game into at least the 6th inning.
