Perez blows save, but Indians rebound in bottom of the 9th, win 5-4 over Seattle

Why play eight and a half innings when you can play all nine?

Zach McAllister pitched a gem, allowing 2 runs (both earned) in 7.1 innings and the Indians offense overcame a to-of-the-ninth-inning meltdown from closer Chris Perez in the bottom of the innning with a bases-loaded fielders’ choice by Mark Reynolds. Seattle shortstop Brendan Ryan went home with the throw, but catcher Jesus Montero appeared to not touch the plate and Tribe second baseman Jason Kipnis was ruled safe with the winning run. (more…)

Series Preview: Cleveland Indians vs. Seattle Mariners

A brief swing to Philadelphia showed us both faces of the Indians offense. The Tribe was held to just two runs on Tuesday then lit up Cole Hamels like that Christmas Tree your elderly neighbor left up all year. It was 10 runs they scored that game, and it was awesome. While the low-scoring affairs are a bit of a drag, I’ll take these outbursts of stupendous smashingness.

So it’s back to Cleveland to face the Indians greatest foes, the Seattle Mariners. While you might think a division rival or perhaps some powerhouse would properly fit in as the Indians’ greatest foe, remember that Ichiro Suzuki said he’d rather punch himself in the face then go to Cleveland. That’s just rude, and THEN he went back on his word and came to Cleveland. Rude and a flip-flopper? Sounds like a future Yankee. (more…)
