After managing just one run off Royals starter Ervin Santana, the Indians had two innings to put a rally together. Not an easy task against one of the top bullpens in the Majors. As it turned out, one inning was all the Tribe needed. With his club trailing by two in the eighth, Michael Bourn’s […]
Royals Beat Indians 2-1

Indians starter Carlos Carrasco pitched well enough to earn his first victory of 2013, but the bullpen let things get away and the offense couldn’t keep up. Carrasco — making his first start since serving a seven-game suspension — left with one out and a man on second in the eighth inning, while the Indians […]
Indians Blank Nationals 2-0
June 17, 2013 by
Corey Kluber wasn’t going to allow the Nationals to score any runs, no matter how many times they put a man in scoring position before making an out. Kluber escaped three hazardous jams during his eight scoreless innings on Sunday, leading the way to a 2-0 win over Washington that gives the Indians four victories […]
Indians Beat Rangers 5-2

A.J. Pierzynski popped up a pitch from Indians left-hander Rich Hill in the sixth inning and then slammed his bat to the ground in disgust. For Cleveland, and for the team’s bullpen in particular, it has been nice to see frustration finally find its way to the other dugout for a change. On a muggy […]
Indians Break Streak, Beat Rangers 5-2
June 12, 2013 by
Corey Kluber only needed a half-hour in the car to get to Rangers Ballpark when he was a kid. If he ever imagined himself pitching a gem on the stadium’s mound, it was probably not as a visitor. On Tuesday night, working in the kind of hot conditions in which he was raised, the hometown […]

The Indians headed into this road trip with their chests puffed out, feeling like a team on the cusp of something special. After the past week of baseball, Cleveland is now gasping for air. It was more of the same on Monday night for the reeling Tribe. Left-hander Scott Kazmir gave the Indians a decent […]
Tigers Beat Indians 4-1

There are certain hitters who just have a pitcher’s number. When Don Kelly settled into the batter’s box to face Indians sinkerballer Justin Masterson on Sunday afternoon, it was best to ignore the paltry batting average that appeared on the scoreboard. Masterson surrendered a three-run home run to Kelly in the sixth inning, sending the […]
Yankees Beat Indians 6-4
June 6, 2013 by
Michael Bourn glided in as he usually does, preparing to make a routine catch in center field in the first inning for the Indians. That is when the baseball that soared from Robinson Cano’s bat glanced off the glove of the outfielder and dropped to the grass. It was a rare gaffe for one of […]
Yankees Beat Indians 4-3
June 5, 2013 by
The Indians waited a bit too long to forge a comeback against the Yankees on Tuesday night. In the Bronx, biding time typically seals a team’s fate. Veteran Yankees closer Mariano Rivera slammed the door on Cleveland’s late push, sending the Indians to a 4-3 loss at Yankee Stadium. The Tribe struggled to get anything […]
Yankees Beat Indians 7-4
June 4, 2013 by
Austin Romine hit a hard chopper back up the middle, where the ball struck Indians starter Justin Masterson in the side before dropping to the grass. Masterson hustled off the mound and retrieved the baseball, but the Yankees’ catcher raced up the first-base line to reach safely. It was that kind of night for the […]
