8 - 7 - 10 vs. Minnesota L, 7 - 2 47 - 64
Due to the Indians' experience, or lack thereof, this team has had and will continue to have, problems driving in runners who are in scoring position. And, against the Twins, the Tribe had countless opportunites to score runs, yet, they could only manage two in a losing effort.
Minnesota jumped on top 2 - 0 after three innings of play before Cleveland showed their only signs of offensive life for the night.
In the 4th, Jordan Brown and Matt LaPorta both picked up two - out RBIs on a double and single, respectively. The rally tied the game, but unfortunately, the Indians would not have another runner touch home plate.
Fausto Carmona kept the game deadlocked until he surrendered a RBI single to J.J. Hardy in the 7th, and after that, everything caved in on the Tribe.
Carmona wound up lasting 7 1/3 frames, but he was roughed up for five runs, and after he was taken out the contest, the bullpen completely imploded and the Twins wound up winning in a blow - out.
