2 teams moving in opposite directions clashed this weekend in Seattle, and, by the end of the 3-day series, it was clear which team was which. Courtesy of their 6-4 victory on Sunday afternoon, the Indians have now won 7 consecutive games. The Mariners, on the other hand, are in the midst of a week-long slide.
The Tribe scored at least 1 run in each of the 1st 4 innings to claim an insurmountable advantage. Asdrubal Cabrera led the way with a solo home run and a RBI single. Shelley Duncan (RBI double), Michael Brantley (RBI double), and Jack Hannahan (solo homer) also contributed as Cleveland quickly knocked Erik Bedard out of the contest.
Meanwhile, Josh Tomlin quietly put together another solid outing. The yong right-hander earned a quality start by pitching 6 2/3 frames of 3-run ball.

Ryan Langerhans's 2-run bomb in the 7th marked the end of Tomlin's afternoon, but the bullpen, despite allowing a Michael Saunders round-tripper, held on to the lead, giving Tomlin his 2nd win of the season.
Chris Perez, the Indians dynamite stopper, earned his 4th save in as many opportunities.
