4 - 12 - 10 vs. Texas L, 4 - 2 (10 innings) 2 - 5
A return to Progressive Field failed to solve the Indians woes as they wasted another stellar outing from Fausto Carmona becuase they continued to be stymied on offense.
Shin - Soo Choo connected for a solo shot in the first inning before the Rangers rallied to take a 2 - 1 advantage. The Tribe came back to tie the score in the sixth on a Jhonny Peralta sacrifice fly that was set up by a Texas throwing error.
Both defenses and bullpens were stellar the rest of the way and the game headed into extra frames. That was when Nelson Cruz launched a Chris Perez fastball deep into the Home Run Porch in left field. Cleveland's offnese had no answer and the Indians lost their second straight home opener.
Fausto Carmona continued to be brilliant, going eight strong innings of two - run ball, but like the rest of the starting rotation, suffered from a lack of offensive support.
