Cleveland Indians: Led by Tomlin, Choo, and Nix, the Tribe Rolls

9 - 24 - 10     vs. Kansas City     W, 7 - 3     63 - 91

     Desperately needing a win as the season draws to a close, the Indians turned to Josh Tomlin in hopes that he could give them a solid outing.
     He gave them much more than that.
     The rookie hurler tossed a complete game, his first in the big leagues, and he also struck out six Royals' batters to help bring an end to Cleveland's five - game losing streak.
     Tomlin, however, did not win this game by himself.
     Both Shin - Soo Choo and Jayson Nix had huge performances in support of their pitcher.
     Choo collected three base - hits to go along with a pair of runs batted in.  Choo drove home the Indians' first run when he singled in the 1st, and his 5th inning RBI double proved to be the eventual game - winner.
     Nix, meanwhile, was busy hitting home runs.  Nix blasted out a pair of solo homers to left field in the 2nd and 8th innings, respectively.
     Tomlin began to waver in the 9th, but after surrendering a Wilson Betemit two - run homer, he settled down and recorded the ballgame's final out on a liner to right.
