7 - 1 - 10 vs. Toronto W, 6 - 1 31 - 47
On a beautiful summer afternoon at Progressive Field, the Indians completed a four - game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays with one of their best - played games of the season. Justin Masterson was dominant throughout his entire start, and the offense packed their punch in the 4th inning.
The Tribe scored six times in that 4th frame, and they did it off of the hapless Shaun Marcum. Following a couple of walks to Shin - Soo Choo and Carlos Santana, Matt LaPorta made Marcum pay by launching a three - run shot onto the Home Run Porch in left field. Shelley Duncan made it back - to - back jacks with his solo homer to almost the exact same spot. Cleveland got a couple more runs when left fielder Fred Lewis allowed a Jason Donald single to skip by him, and when Trevor Crowe blooped a RBI single into center.
Masterson then took care of the rest as he pitched 8 1/3 dominant innings while allowing just a single tally, and that came in the 9th with the game already decided. The impressive outing gave Justin his third win of the season.
The Jays did load the bases in the 9th, so when Frank Herrman came on and induced a game - ending double play, it was good enough for his first career save.
