Cleveland Indians: Tribe Can't Overcome Crowe's Error

6 - 8 - 10     vs. Boston     L, 3 - 2     21 - 36

     It was a play that Trevor Crowe has made countless times throughout his major league career, but in the 4th inning against Boston, he didn't.  With two outs, Victor Martinez lofted a fly ball to fairly deep left field that Crowe had a bead on just in front of the wall.  However, when he went to catch it, the ball popped out of his glove, and the Red Sox had the break they were looking for.  They went on to score three runs, all unearned off of David Huff, as the next four Sox batters got base hits following the error.
     The Indians had scored a run in the 1st on an Adrian Beltre throwing error, and they pulled within one on Shelley Duncan's 7th inning homer off the foul pole in left, but they could never tie or take the lead.
     Boston's Tim Wakefield kept the Tribe hitters off balance all night long with his nasty knuckleball, and he went 7 1/3 innings while allowing just two runs.  David Huff was the losing pitcher even though he did not surrender an earned run in six frames of work.
