Tribe picks up rare series victory

The Grady Sizemore show took center stage on Sunday. The center-fielder highlighted an offensive clinic with two home runs as the Tribe rolled over Kevin Millwood and the Rangers 11-6 Sunday afternoon to give them a series victory. Texas scored three in the fifth off Jake Westbrook to cut the Tribe lead to […]

New starter, new result

Brian Slocum started for the Tribe and didn’t qualify for a win but still did his job as the Tribe beat the Rangers 6-3 Saturday night. Second baseman Joe Inglett had his second consecutive three-hit ballgame and Jhonny Peralta hit a two-run homer and had three RBIs to lead the offense. Victor Martinez’s […]

Indians victim of Texas-sized whooping

By the time the Tribe’s offense could get in gear Friday, it was way too late. The Texas Rangers scored eight through the first four innings and went on to demolish the Indians 12-4. Paul Byrd surrendered those eight runs, although only four of them were earned thanks to errors by Ryan Garko […]

Peralta frustrating Wedge

It seems like almost every day manager Eric Wedge has to address the team’s porous infield defense. Wedge called out the infield as a whole the other day and was clearly upset with the way they have been playing. Thursday after the Tribe’s loss, the manager pointed his frustrations towards one player in […]

Indians fizzle in finale

Part of the reason the Indians are twelve games under .500 this season is because of games like this. The Tribe once again fell victim to poor defense, which severely costed them in their 7-4 loss to the A’s. Two misplays by the Tribe ultimately decided the game. The first was when […]

Carmona bright spot in loss

Fausto Carmona had a rare solid outing but the bullpen could not hold the lead as the Tribe fell to A’s 4-3 for their second straight loss. The Indians got on the board with two in the first and still had a one-run lead when Carmona exited after six. However, a big three-run […]

Late-inning slam kills Tribe

The Indians had an early lead but couldn’t sustain it in their 7-3 Tuesday night loss to the A’s. Oakland only had six hits on the night but a grand slam off Cliff Lee in the sixth was enough to beat them. It also didn’t help that the Tribe struck out 17 times, […]

Indians find a win out west

Jake Westbrook picked up his first win since September 1 as the Tribe got off to a good start to their road trip, beating the Oakland A’s 7-2. Other than Jason Michaels, every other Indian in the lineup contributed to the 13-hit night. Victor Martinez got it all started with a two-run homer […]

Errors aplenty

In the final game of their series, the Indians lost to the Twins 6-1, completing a dismal homestand. Paul Byrd started for the Tribe and took the loss, giving up five runs, four of which were earned, in six innings. Byrd didn’t get much help from his offense, nor did he find any […]

Sabathia solid, but offense silent

Sabathia did what he could but failed to get much help from the offense as the Indians lost 4-1 to the Twins Saturday night. C.C went seven innings and gave up 10 hits and three runs. However, the bats were quiet as their lone run came in the first as a result of […]
