Jake Westbrook pitched very well...except for two pitches. Normally two runs in 7.1 innings would be more than enough for the Indians' offense, but  not today. The bats on both clubs were largely muffled, probably a product of a quick turnaround from the night before. 

The biggest at-bat of the game came after the Indians scored their only run. After Nick Swisher misplayed a Franklin Gutierrez fly ball, the Indians had runners on second and third with one out. But Asdrubal Cabrera hit the ball right at Joe Crede and Ryan Garko couldn't score. Casey Blake then followed with a fly ball to end the inning. Joe Crede led off the next inning with a home run, and the Indians went in order the next two innings to end the game.
