The Cleveland Indians won the series over the Cincinnati Reds today with a 5-3 win at Jacobs Field this afternoon. Here are my thoughts on today's win:
- Paul Byrd gave another solid start today. He didn't have great stuff but he still kept the ball club in the game. Any team will live with 7 innings and 3 runs allowed from their supposed #5 starter.
- It was refreshing again to see the Tribe come right back after falling behind. Also, they did score five runs against a pretty good starting pitcher in Aaron Harang.
- Jhonny Peralta continues his hot hitting and he seems to be over the sophomore slump he had last year. The homer he had today gives him ten for the year.
- Once again the Indians had 8 of their starting 9 hitters get hits today. Keep doing this and the wins will pile up.
- Was also nice to see Joe Borowski work a 1,2,3 9th inning to get the save.
- Today was the tenth series win of the season for the Tribe. The Indians didn't accomplish this feat last year till mid August.
The Indians return back to the field on Monday to play the Mariners in one of the makeup games from the snowed out home opening weekend. CC Sabathia will face Cha Seung Beak at 7:05.
