Carl Pavano got out of a difficult first inning, then settled down to throw 6.2 solid innings. The bullpen got out of a jam in the seventh, then breezed through the last two innings. This isn't normally how a Cleveland Indians game plays out.
The bottom of the order, and especially Ben Francisco and Luis Valbuena, had a great night. Francisco and Valbuena both went 3-for-3, setting up most of the Indian runs tonight.
