Cleveland Indians: Tribe Loses Rainy Slugfest

9-19-11     vs. Seattle     L, 12-6 (7 innings)     75-76

     Heavy rain shortened Monday afternoon's game between the Indians and Mariners to 7 innings, but 3 innings would have been sufficient.
     Seattle tallied twice in the 2nd before scoring 9 times in the 3rd to turn a 3-0 Tribe lead into an 11-4 Mariners advantage.  Mike Carp's grand slam to the upper deck in right field capped the onslaught.
     David Huff allowed more runs (9) than he recorded outs (8).  4 of those runs were unearned, but that did not prevent Huff from suffering his 6th loss of the season.
     The Indians provided Huff with ample offensive support, including back-to-back jacks in the 1st.  Asdrubal Cabrera hit a 2-run homer to left, and the next batter, Carlos Santana, hit a solo shot to nearly the exact same spot.
     The game, which was originally scheduled for May 14th, was played in front of a sparse crowd that probably numbered less than 1,000.  Officially, the attendance was 15,354, but the majority of those fans were no-shows.
Huff lost his 4th consecutive start
