Box Score: Indians 7, Twins 1

June 1, 2012 by 2 Comments

The Tribe’s young infield duo was at it again tonight. First, it was Lonnie Chisenhall with a two-run homer in the second, followed up by a Jason Kipnis grand slam in the fourth. That power surge with former stars of the 90s in attendance was more than enough for Derek Lowe, who gave the Indians their first quality start in over a week as he pitched 6 2/3 innings allowing just 1 run on 5 hits while coaxing 11 ground ball outs. The Tribe took the series opener 7-1 as they didn’t let Carl Pavano escape the fourth inning. This win was desperately needed to keep pace with the white hot White Sox and after dropping five of their last six. Tomorrow night, it’s Josh Tomlin for the Tribe against P.J. Walters for Minnesota.

  • tulo’s sore elbow

    Lou marsons injury really hurt last week I think. Carlin struggled just catching the ball at times, let alone calling the game.

  • bridgecrosser

    I’ve thought about this, but why couldn’t Sandy just call the game?  Plenty of teams have done that. Scoscia (sic) did that in the past.  Not sure if that would help Masterson keep the ball down though.

    I think Masterson’s injury to non-throwing shoulder is keeping him from consistently reaching out and pulling down as much, not as much downward torque on his delivery = leaving ball up.

    Lowe has been a savior.  Poss ASG at this point.
