4 - 26 - 10 at Los Angeles L, 5 - 2 8 - 11
When a team is averaging about three runs per game, every little bit of good news is viewed as golden. So, I guess it is all right to be optimistic about the Indians' offense because they at least threatened to plate some runners, even though they still only scored two runs. The two tallies were not nearly enough to earn a series opening win in the Big A.
For the second start in a row, David Huff had problems early, and in this particular contest, he gave up a lead - off homer to Erick Aybar in what turned out to be a three - run first inning.
A Jhonny Peralta RBI single and an Austin Kearns solo dinger kept Cleveland relatively close, but the Halos maintained a solid lead thanks to Bobby Abreu's two - run bomb in the sixth frame.
The Tribe threatened in each of the last three innings, yet they were only able to score once. The main culprit was extremely poor situational hitting, and a great catch from Abreu didn't help matters either.
Huff suffered his second consecutive loss and Jered Weaver took home the win after befuddling the Indians over six frames.
