I think it's Aaron Boone in the ESPN booth who speculated Kearns might have missed a sign on the Hannahan play.

Cabrera to Cabrera to LaPorta to erase the leadoff walk in the Boston 6th.

3 outs, and to our 6th

Announcers pointed out that Masterson is a religious guy. They were told that when he was with Boston in the bullpen he taught the Latin players English during the ballgames.

Premature tarp release

Raining now, and the grounds crew started to roll out the tarp. The 3rd base umpire stopped them on the third base line. They rolled it back.

Asdrubal is now just 7 for his last 8 as he hits a warning track out to left.

Choo needs a hit to extend his hitting streak to 10 games.

2-2 to Choo


and he's fooled for strike 3.



To the 7th, 2-1 them

Just 7 hits in the game as we get to the 7th.

3 for us, and 4 for them.

Nice talking by Hannahan and Kearns as they converged on Drew's foul pop near the tarp. Hannahan could have had it, but as they got close he turned and pointed to Kearns coming in and said take it.


Orlando Cabrera with a super play from his knees on the outfield grass to get the 2nd out.



And THEN a leaping stab for the 3rd out!


Great defensive inning to help out Masterson.

LaPorta had a pitch to drive but got under it for the 2nd out of the 7th

On to the 8th, and likely a new Tribe pitcher as Masterson is at 101

Nope, he's facing the first batter in the 8th

and gets him.


And still in for the next batter

Ump blew that call

Masterson had the bag on the first attempt



Acta is gone.
