The Cleveland Indians won their makeup game from the snowstorm of April tonight at Jacobs Field. Here are my thoughts on the game:
- I thought CC pitched well tonight with not having his good stuff on the mound tonight.
- The bullpen pitched very effectively except for Roberto Hernandez who reverted back to his sub par self. I must give credit to Tom Mastny he has been the most pleasant surprise in the bullpen this year. Borowski got his 14th save tonight. Now I don't think there are many fans who thought he would have 14 saves by March 19.
- Turning point in the game was clearly Blake's home run and really seemed to get everyone relaxed at the plate.
- Like I have said before this lineup is really starting to show balance with 7 of 9 batters getting a hit tonight.
- Josh Barfield really opened up the game tonight with his big two run double in the 7th inning.
- With the win tonight the Indians are back where they belong on top of the AL Central by a half game.
The Indians will now embark on a three city road trip that will start in Kansas City where the Tribe will play an improving Royals squad. Fausto Carmona will try to continue his brilliance on the mound against Odalis Perez.
