Greg Reynolds shut the Indians bats down for the most part.  The Indians got a rbi in the fifth inning off a Casey Blake sacrafice fly and then a another rbi on a sacrafice fly in the eighth inning off the bat of Ryan Garko.  That was all the Tribe could get going which wasn’t much.

Paul Byrd was only able to pitch four innings before he was taken out of the game.  Byrd gave up nine hits and five runs in his four innings of action to take the loss.  He is now 3-7 on the year with a 5.21 era.  Scott Elarton pitched the next two innings and gave up four hits and two runs.  Once Elarton was removed from the game it was Rick Bauer giving up four hits and three runs over two innings of action.  As you can tell, the Indians pitching staff was just as bad as the offense was.

Hopefully things will turn around on Wendesday for the Indians and they can pick up a win in Denver against the Rockies.

Byrd gave up six hits and six runs in only three innings of action as he started the game on the mound.  Byrd gave up one home run in the third inning as he fell to 3-6 on the season.  Scott Elarton, Rick Bauer, and Rafael Betancourt all pitched great out of the bullpen but then Joe Borowski gave up three hits and two runs in the ninth inning.  Borowski just didn’t do his job to keep the Indians in the game.

Grady Sizemore hit a three run home run in the seventh inning as he finished the game with three rbi.  Kelly Shoppach also had a solo home run as he had one rbi in the game.  And not to be left out,  Jamey Carroll had one rbi in the game.

The Indians and Twins will play once again on Thursday which will be the rubber match of the series.
