| Pronk crushes his mammoth home run |
After Hannahan's base-hit, Mariners' starter Jason Vargas was replaced by Tom Wilhelmsen. Vargas, who surrendered 7 runs in 3 1/3 innings pitched, suffered the loss.
The relentless Indians added a tally in the 5th when LaPorta scored on catcher Miguel Olivo's throwing error.
Aided significantly by his offense's incredible performance, Carlos Carrasco pitched 6 frames of 1-run ball to earn the win.
The fact that Seattle is managed by former Tribe skipper Eric Wedge made the triumph even sweeter.
