Things looked very good for the Cleveland Indians after they scored four runs in the top of the first inning but after that everything went down hill for them as they lost to the Texas Rangers 9-4. Pretty dissapointing game as you come out of the gates and score four quick runs, but then have trouble the next eight inning and don’t score one run. Something is wrong there if you ask me.
C.C. Sabathia took the loss and is now 3-8 on the season. Sabathia gave up nine hits, five runs (four earned, three walks, and struckout eight batters. Rafael Betancourt allowed three runs while only lasting 2/3 of an inning. Edward Mujica then came in and gave up another run in 1 1/3 innings of action. All three pitchers had trouble as you can tell.
The first inning is really all there is to blog about for the offense. David Dellucci had a two run double while Victor Martinez had a rbi single and Jhonny Peralta had a rbi double. I really thought the Indians would get some more runs as the game went on, but Kevin Millwood figured things out and shut them down the rest of the game.
