Cleveland Indians: Rangers' Errors Set Up Choo's Clutch Hit and Win

4 - 15 - 10     vs. Texas     W, 3 - 2     3 - 6

     A five - game losing streak finally came to an end for the Tribe, but in order for them to break out of it, the Rangers basically had to hand the game over to Cleveland.
     Texas broke up a scoreless contest in the fourth inning when Josh Hamilton lasered a two - run bomb over the right field fence, and for the most of the game, it appeared as if that would be enough to send the Indians to their sixth straight defeat.
    In the eighth inning, however, the Tribe broke up the shutout, and grabbed the lead for good.  A pair of errors by the Rangers' middle infield put two on with nobody out for Shin - Soo Choo.  Choo cashed in on the opportunity by dropping a three - run shot just over the wall in right - center.
    David Huff had been pitching marvellously all game and once the Tribe gave him the lead, he got the team across the finish line with a scoreless ninth.  It was the first complete game of Huff's carreer, but more importantly, it got Cleveland back on the left side of the results' column.
