8 - 25 - 10 vs. Oakland L, 6 - 1 50 - 76
The Indians and Athletics did play the required nine innings, but after one, everyone in the ballpark knew that the Tribe was not going to end, what would become, a five - game losing streak.
Cleveland's Mitch Talbot allowed five runs in that 1st frame, and even though he was nearly perfect after that, the damage had been done. Talbot, who early in the season was a Rookie of the Year candidate, has now gone two months between victories while his E.R.A. has skyrocketed.
In the bottom of the 1st, Trevor Cahill, an American League All - Star, walked to the mound with a 5 - 0 lead, and like most good pitchers, he made sure the Indians never had a chance to win. Cahill wound up holding the home team to a measly tally over seven innings of work.
Asdrubal Cabrera's RBI single in the 5th was the reason the Tribe did not get held scoreless for the second straight night. However, Cabrera was thrown out at second on the play, killing any potential comeback.
A three - run, bases - clearing double off the bat of Kevin Kouzmanoff was the big blow in Oakland's early rally.
