For seven innings at the Oakland Coliseum, it appeared as if the Tribe's offensive struggles would continue and they would waste another great outing from a starting pitcher. Fausto Carmona was cruising, having allowed just one run, but Cleveland had barely managed to equal that score, so the game was tied at one heading to the eighth. However, that's when the Indians' offense exploded, and they would wind up scoring five runs in the final two frames to win going away.
Shin - Soo Choo was responsible for the tying tally as he singled one home in the sixth. A sacrifice bunt opened the door in the eighth, and Mark Grudzielanek and Austin Kearns cashed in on the opportunity by both hitting RBI singles.
In the ninth, the Tribe blew it open on a Mike Redmond run - scoring base - hit and a Austin Kearns two - run single.
Carmona's solid outing came to a close with one out in the eighth and he picked up his third win of the young season.
