Cleveland Indians: Wood Struggles in Return and Tribe Loses 5th Straight

5 - 8 - 10     vs. Detroit     L, 6 - 4     10 - 18

     Kerry Wood was signed to a big contract prior to the 2009 season and he failed to live up to expectations.  This year he started the year on the disabled list, raising more questions about his ability to produce for the Indians.  He finally made his 2010 debut on a windy afternoon against the Tigers and it wasn't pretty.  In only two - thirds of an inning, he allowed two key runs, and wound up suffering the loss.
     Prior to Wood's meltdown, the Tribe had made an immpressive comeback following a Scott Sizmeore three - run double in the fourth off of Justin Masterson.  Travis Hafner started the rally in the bottom of the fourth by bouncing a RBI single through the left side of the infield.  Two innings later, Austin Kearns tied it on a two - run single that was set up by some shaky defense behind Detroit ace, Justin Verlander.
     However, Verlander would still get the win because of Wood's poor seventh.  A double and two walks loaded the bases for Miguel Cabrera, and the Tigers' slugger stroked an opposit field two - run single, giving the visitors the lead for good.
     A Kearns sac fly in the eighth made things interesting, but Cleveland still wound up on the short end of the final score.
