Box Score: Indians 4, Cardinals 1

June 10, 2012 by 5 Comments

Kip. Kip. Boom.

That’s the story of this one as Cardinals closer Jason Motte challenged Jason Kipnis with a 98 mph fastball that he deposited into the right field seats for a three-run homer that gave the Tribe a 4-1 victory. That Kipnis blast came after a dramatic bottom of the eighth where Vinnie Pestano walked the bases loaded with one out and then struck out Yadier Molina and Allen Craig. Chris Perez came on for the save (and the vomit). Pestano came away with the win, but Ubaldo Jimenez had perhaps his best outing of the season with seven strong innings, zero walks, and one mistake, a first-inning homer allowed to Carlos Beltran. The Tribe, now one-half game behind Chicago once again, is off tomorrow and opens a three-game series against the Reds in Cincinnati.
