Now Tomlin walks Valbuena to load the bases for Ohtani.

33 pitches so far this inning.

Wild pitch, Calhoun scores.

3-2 Angels, 2 away still.

3 run homer by Ohtani.

Tomlin is throwing batting practice. Just terrible.

6-2 Angels, still the 1st.

Finally, the inning that would never end, ends, on a flyout to Zimmer.

6-2 Bad guys, going to 2nd

Sorry, got a phone call. But it was a welcome break from this crap show.

Tribe goes down 1-2-3 in 2nd, still 6-2.

Bottom of 2nd ... Upton hits a solo homer. The rest go down quietly, thank God.

7-2 Halos, after 2.

Tribe goes down quietly, 1-2-3 again...

Still 7-2 btm 3

Tomlin still throwing batting practice, as Valbuena takes him deep now.

8-2

Ohtani continues his Babe Ruth impersonation with a single to RF this time.

Mercifully Tomlin gets 3rd out. He's at 76 pitches.

Still 8-2 going into 4th.

Naquin works a walk but other than that Tribe goes down meekly.

Still 8-2, btm of 4

Otero is in ... thank God.

And he promptly gets a 1-2-3 inning. That's how it's done.

8-2 going into 5th

Tomlin's gopher balls seems to have sapped the energy from the Tribe. They go down 1-2-3 again.

8-2 going to bottom of 5.

Pujols was on 2nd base, not sure how, sorry. Then Simmons drives him in with a double.

9-2

11-2 into the 7th now... Just ugly.

Jose's homer one of the few highlights in this one!

Only surprising thing about Tomlin's start was that I read it's the first time he's allowed 4 homers in a game. Never a fan of his although I am impressed with his sometimes ability to succeed despite his limited talent.

I was very glad when Clevinger came along strongly that he would push Tomlin out of the rotation. Now have to wait for the annual Danny Salazar rehab effort before Josh gets to sit down.
