4 - 23 - 10 at Oakland L, 10 - 0 7 - 9
A disturbing trend is beginning to emerge for the Cleveland Indians this season. They seem to follow up every good offensive day with a clunker, and the pattern continued in Oakland as the Tribe was shutout a day after scoring eight runs in Minnesota.
The Indians set the tone for the day in the first four innings by bouncing into one double play in each frame. Cleveland wound up banging into five total twin killers.
The A's finally broke open a scoreless tie in the fourth and they added three more in the sixth to claim a choke - hold on the contest with the big blow being a two - run homer off the bat of Curt Suzuki. The Athletics then made it a blowout by piling up six tallies in the eighth frame.
Jake Westbrook continued to show signs of rust, and he wound up allowing four runs in five inning to become the losing pitcher. Jake has now gone well over two years without a major league victory.
Justin Duchscherer was the one who induced all those rally - killers, and he was the winning pitcher.
