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, tying a club record for punc outs in a nine-inning game. Shin-Soo Choo fanned all four times he came to the plate as the Tribe have lost six of their last eight.
