Cleveland Indians: Behind Trio of Home Runs, Indians Beat Galarraga

9 - 27 - 10     vs. Detroit     W, 6 - 3     66 - 91

     It took the Indians quite a while, but they have finally solved Armando Galarraga.
     The Detroit pitcher came within a missed called of throwing a perfect game against the Indians on June 2nd, and then on August 20th, once again facing the Tribe, he flirted with history once again.
     In his most recent start in Cleveland, Galarraga took a no - no into the 5th before the Indians unloaded on him.
     The Indians scored five times in the inning en route to a comfortable series - opening victory.
     The home run ball was key for the Tribe as they hit three of them in the 5th.  Matt LaPorta and Luke Carlin each hit a solo shot to tie the score at two, and shortly thereafter, Travis Hafner belted out a three - run homer.
     The offensive outburst enabled Carlos Carrasco to pick up the win.  Carrasco tossed six innings of three - run baseball.
