Masterson's run, however.

No clue why he went out there for the 8th at 116 pitches.

And now Durbin's in to try to get out of the inning.

trying to conserve the pen a bit. hope that masterson gets one of the first two batters so perez can come in for 2 lefties in the next 3 batters. it would have worked perfectly if masterson got one out.

True, last night's marathon wasn't helpful to the pen. Masterson did his best to help out today though. A great outing, all-in-all.

Time for some runs.

Yeah, the bullpen pitched 7 innings last night so gotta try and eat up some innings with the rotation. Acta said he would let Masterson throw 120 today if possible.

Choo - the leadoff man is aboard after a leadoff single to right field.

Oh, my bad. I didn't know Masterson went out to start the inning.

 

[Magua]

talk about a resilient team, my god!

Choo busted hump to score on a ground ball that Inge knocked down at 3rd base that was a sharp ground ball by O-Cab. Tied it at 3.

AND BRANTLEY JUST HAD AN RBI SCORING DUNCAN.

...hahaha and probably the worst slide ever at home plate by Duncan LOL

 

[BearBuck27]

O Cab singles in Choo to tie the game on a great all around play.

Brantley follows with a single to plate Duncan to give the Tribe a 4-3 lead.

 

[Magua]

Wow, LaPorta just smoked one into the left field corner that Raburn made a RIDICULOUS running catch into the wall. It's an out but an RBI Sac Fly.

5-3 Tribe 2down bottom 8th.

Edit: Brantley steals 2nd to try and get another run across here with Everette at the plate.

 

[BearBuck27]

Rayburn makes a phenominal play in the left field corner to limit LaPorta to a deep sac fly plating Cabrera. LaPorta's 3rd rbi of the day.

5-3 Tribe.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Can't believe this is an Indians team (after last few years of Wedge). Fun fun stuff.

 

[Magua]

infield hit by Jackson on a grounder deep in the hole between short and 3rd. Nice play by Acab but couldn't get the speed of Jackson at 1st.

Fly ball to center for out #1

Pure Rage trying to end this thing. 1 down runner on first. Ugh, struggling to find the strike zone. 3-0 count...

 

[Magua]

nice job by PURE RAGE there, 2 solid strikes and then an infield fly.

Cabrera is up though with 2 down and 2 on.

edit: first pitch line drive base hit. 5-4 Tribe runners on 1st and 3rd.

 

[Magua]

Detroit = SWEPT.
