On Wednesday night, Cleveland encountered Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee for the first time since he was traded by the Tribe four seasons ago. The Indians handed the ball to right-hander Trevor Bauer, the highly-touted pitching prospect acquired via an offseason trade. Bauer was erratic, but effective, in helping guide the Indians to a 6-0 victory, […]

May 1, 2013 by
Rumors of the demise of the Indians’ offense were greatly exaggerated. Only a handful of games ago, Cleveland was scratching and clawing in an effort to find home plate. Things have changed in a hurry for the suddenly potent Tribe. The Indians launched seven home runs, beat up on Phillies starter Roy Halladay and cruised […]

Indians starter Ubaldo Jimenez came out of hiding on Monday night. Cleveland can only hope it can finally send the search party home for good. Jimenez turned in his strongest outing of the season — arguably one of his best efforts as a member of the Tribe — to help the Indians cruise to an […]
Indians Split Double-Header with Royals
April 29, 2013 by
It was one of the Indians’ first moves of the offseason and it mostly flew under the radar. In an early November swap, Cleveland reeled in infielder Mike Aviles and catcher Yan Gomes from the Blue Jays in exchange for reliever Esmil Rogers. On Sunday night, Aviles and Gomes both played a key role in […]

Ryan Raburn saw a first-pitch fastball and saw his chance. White Sox lefty Jose Quintana had been cruising, but Cleveland found a way to work the bases full in the fourth inning and this was an opportunity to swing the momentum. “I just tried to kind of play hero,” Raburn said. Raburn hacked at the […]

April 23, 2013 by
The Indians were struggling to make their own breaks on Monday night. Cleveland was in need of a mistake from the White Sox, one that could put the Tribe in a position to squeeze just enough offense out of a lineup gone cold. The Indians got what they needed in the eighth inning. White Sox […]
Indians Beat Astros 5-4
April 22, 2013 by
Indians closer Chris Perez must have an excitement clause in his contract. Perez entered Sunday’s game with a one-run lead against the offensively challenged Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Before the Indians could escape with a 5-4 win and Perez pick up his first save since Opening Day, the Astros loaded the bases with […]

April 21, 2013 by
Everything went right Saturday night for the Cleveland Indians. First baseman Mark Reynolds, hitting seventh in the lineup, knew it would be a good night when he got to bat in the first inning. Reynolds hit a three-run homer, part of an eight-run inning, to propel the Indians to a 19-6 rout of Houston at […]
Red Sox Beat Indians 6-3, Earn Sweep
April 19, 2013 by
Terry Francona’s reunion with the Red Sox was hardly memorable as far as the Indians were concerned. In the manager’s first meeting with his former team, Cleveland was swept away seemingly with ease by a red-hot Boston club. On Thursday, the Tribe’s offense remained cold and starter Zach McAllister struggled with efficiency, contributing to a […]

It was the perfect time for Asdrubal Cabrera to break free from his early-season slump. The Indians had bases loaded with two outs in the fifth inning, giving the shortstop a prime chance to pull his team back into the ballgame with the Red Sox. Cabrera sent a pitch from Boston’s Alfredo Aceves screaming into […]
