The Cleveland Indians lost the opening game of their three game series with the Florida Marlins at Dolphins Stadium in Miami, Florida tonight. Here are my thoughts on tonight's game:
- Fausto Carmona was splendid again on the mound. The three runs came on a high hop ground ball double. He definitely deserved a better fate. It will be interesting to see how he rebounds in his next start after taking the loss.
- The offense again was anemic tonight. I find it hard to imagine that we cant get more than three hits against the Marlins. Even with the three hits we still had chances to get some runs across. The double play by Casey Blake with a runner at third was the start of things early.
- When a team gives u extra innings in an inning twice you have to take advantage of it. The Tribe really left the Marlins off the hook.
- Matt Miller pitched a scoreless inning in relief tonight. The bullpen does seem to be really picking it up lately.
- With this loss and the Detroit win tonight we are back in a tie for the division lead. Hopefully our bats can come back to life soon.
The Indians will return to the field tomorrow night with Cliff Lee opposing Byung Hyun Kim at 7:05 pm.
