The Cleveland Indians won the second game of their weekend series with the Detroit Tigers this afternoon at Comerica Park in downtown Detroit. Here are my thoughts on today's win:
- I thought a pretty solid start by CC Sabathia this afternoon he wasn't dominating like he usually is but kept the Indians in the game and gave the club a chance to win the game.
- A big thing in today's game was not letting the Tigers score more than one run in any inning and all the pitchers for the Indians did an excellent job of working out of jams and limiting the damage. Because numerous times the Tigers had runners in scoring position with less than 2 out.
- Was really nice to see David Dellucci come through with a big homer in the 8th inning. I still think he is going to play better and even though he hasn't hit like he will hit I don't think he has been a liability in any facet of the game.
- Casey Blake also deserves praise for settling into the two hole in the lineup and playing his usual great defense that we have come to expect from him.
- The Tigers lost Polanco and Grilli today and I think they are really starting to get killed by the injury bug. They seem to be the type of team this year who might not ever get back to full strength cause of the injury bug. This is why getting out to a bigger lead could be important while Detroit is so shorthanded.
- With Dellucci delivering the big hit today I really have started to notice that this team has gotten big hits from numerous people it just isn't the Pronk and Grady show up their.
The Tribe will go for the sweep tomorrow night on ESPN at 8 as Fausto Carmona goes up against Mike Maroth.
