No TV. Full array of bench players in the lineup. No problem. Ubaldo Jimenez was impressive yet again as he notched eighth win of the season as the Tribe won 7-3 at Progressive Field. The Tribe struck early with multiple runs in the second and third innings. These runs came thanks to five doubles and some strong situational hitting with two RBI groundouts. From there, Ubaldo made one mistake on a home run ball to Luke Scott in the fourth. Other than that, the Tribe starter was nearly spotless, walking one and striking out eight. The Indians look to take three out of four tomorrow afternoon in the final game before the All-Star break as Zach McAllister faces James Shields.
