and on the 10th pitch, he walks him.

Next pinch hitter is veteran nonentity Logan Forsythe, who hits a nice double play ball and that's the 8th inning. Whew

Martin, that is Mar Teen, not Mar tin, I'm told, leads off the 9th with a single.

And then the New Look Twins give the Indians a boost:
"Alonso reaches on a force attempt, missed catch error by SS JOrge Polanco, assist to 3B Sano, Martin to 3rd"

and Gomes takes advantage of the gift with an RBI single.

Then Rodney helps some more with a wild pitch. 2nd and 3rd none out. Melky bats.

grounds out Logan [Forsythe] to Logan [Morrison]. Runners stay put.

Erik G with a chance to prove his worth

and he doesn't do any better, grounding out to short runners stay put

Lindor gets a free pass.

Now Rajai gets a chance to do something.

he gets the count full; I'm sure we'd be happy with a bases loaded walk.

Interesting they don't pinch hit Brantley here.

Evidently Tito agrees he needs a break - with tomorrow off as well.

Grr Rajai swings at ball 4.

well it didn't work; Davis fanned. So we are up to 2-0 with Mauer, Rosario and Polanco to face Hand [et al?]

The first two are left handed, so Hand will go at least that far. Polanco, for whom we can thank for the 2nd run, is a switch hitter.

gets Mauer on a called 3rd strike. One

Rosario grounds out. TWO

Polanco with a bunt single. Is that allowed??
