Box Score: Indians 4, Angels 0

April 29, 2012 by 4 Comments

Right on cue, Derek Lowe shut down the Angels to give the first-place Indians (11-9) a 4-0 victory over the visiting LA Angels (7-15).

Lowe (4-1) was dominant through 7 2/3 innings, exiting the game in the top of the eighth with runners on first and third — the most damage the Angels did all game. Vinnie Pestano then allowed a walk before getting a strikeout to end the inning, and the Tribe tacked on the final two insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth to provide for the final score. Chris Perez came in the ninth to close out the game and secure the series victory, although he didn’t earn a save.

Torii Hunter, who homered in each of the first two series games, had a bonehead sun-induced error in the fifth that allowed the first two Cleveland runs to score. Carlos Santana finished 3-for-4 with a double and Michael Brantley continued his recent hot streak with a 2-for-3 performance.

    Chris Perez looked the best I’ve seen him in a long time. He was hitting his spots and his fast ball looked good in the mid nineties. I thinkec he has really moved in from that opening day debacle and if he keeps this up should be dominant.

    This isn’t really important, but I think calling a sun induced error boneheaded is a little inaccurate….especially when talking about one of the best defensive outfielders of the last decade. Boneheaded out fielding should be reserved for Manny, Canseco, etc.

  • Yup

    Another game scoring 4 or less runs…just sayin’

  • USSChoo

    Averaging 4.55/gm, 6th in the AL and above league average. That is with a slumping Duncan a swinging broom at 1B and no Choo for 3 days. No concern over here.
