Cleveland Indians: Tribe Wins Behind Duncan's Great Night

9 - 14 - 10     vs. Los Angeles Angels     W, 4 - 3     59 - 85

     Shelley Duncan has more than lived up to the moderate expectaions that were placed upon him at the beginning of the year.  Expected to do little more than provide a veteran presence for a young team, Duncan has shown a surprising amount of power.  That power was on full display in the Indians' series opener with the Angels as he pounded out two home runs and drove in four.
     Duncan tied the game with his RBI single in the 1st inning, and he went on to add a solo homer in the 4th and a two - run shot in the 6th to account for all of the Tribe's offensive output.
     Josh Tomlin's outing, in which he allowed three runs over 6 2/3 frames, earned him his fourth career victory.
     Chris Perez worked out of a first - and - third jam in the 9th, enabling him to pick up his 20th save.
