9 - 12 - 10 vs. Minnesota L, 6 - 2 58 - 85
Three batters into the Indians' series finale with Minnesota, the Tribe was already in a heap of trouble. A walk and two singles had plated one run, and Mitch Talbot had been forced to exit the game due to a shoulder injury.
And things only got worse from there.
Justin Masterson, recently relegated to the bullpen, was called in to stop the bleeding in a long relief role, and he was victimized by an error and his own wild pitch. When the third out was finally recorded, the Twins had a comfortable 5 - 0 lead.
Joe Mauer, Delmon Young, and Danny Valencia each had a RBI in the rally.
Luis Valbuena, who committed the costly error in the 1st inning, partially atoned for his miscue by lacing a two - run double in the 2nd. Unfortunately, those would be the only two runs the Indians got all day.
Masterson actually pitched a fairly good game as he allowed just one earned run over seven frames of work.
