The Indians were struggling to make their own breaks on Monday night. Cleveland was in need of a mistake from the White Sox, one that could put the Tribe in a position to squeeze just enough offense out of a lineup gone cold. The Indians got what they needed in the eighth inning. White Sox […]
Reds Beat Cubs 5-4 in 13 Innings
April 23, 2013 by
The Reds have tasted wins of various flavors during a strong homestand thus far — from crisply pitched games to routs, to extra innings and even a suspended game that had to be picked up the following day. But Monday’s 5-4 victory over the Cubs in 13 innings required an added dash of fortitude. Struggling […]
Indians Beat Astros 5-4
April 22, 2013 by
Indians closer Chris Perez must have an excitement clause in his contract. Perez entered Sunday’s game with a one-run lead against the offensively challenged Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Before the Indians could escape with a 5-4 win and Perez pick up his first save since Opening Day, the Astros loaded the bases with […]

Even though he was getting on base in more than half of his plate appearances, there has been a constant buzz of worry in some circles that Joey Votto was in a hitting funk. Votto was drawing walks — a Major League-most 25 to be exact — but where were the home runs? Where were […]

April 22, 2013 by
Ryan Johansen had previously scored four game-winning goals in his young NHL career, but none were more timely, breathtaking or downright massive than No. 5 Sunday night in San Jose. Less than four minutes after a Joe Pavelski power play goal rallied the Sharks from a two-goal, third period deficit to tie the game at […]

April 21, 2013 by
Columbus Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum was equal to chance after chance as the Fire pummeled him with shots early in the second half of Saturday’s contest. But Jeff Larentowicz finally beat Gruenebaum in the 83rd minute, when he headed home a flick-on from Austin Berry to give the Chicago Fire a 1-0 win at Toyota […]

April 21, 2013 by
A late Juan Diaz homer led the Clippers to a 1-0 win over the Toledo Mud Hens at Huntington Park. For much of the night, it was a pitcher’s duel between Toledo’s Pat Misch and Clippers righty Carlos Carrasco. Misch struck out seven in seven innings of work while Carrasco fanned ten batters in six […]
Indians Smack Houston 19-6
April 21, 2013 by
Everything went right Saturday night for the Cleveland Indians. First baseman Mark Reynolds, hitting seventh in the lineup, knew it would be a good night when he got to bat in the first inning. Reynolds hit a three-run homer, part of an eight-run inning, to propel the Indians to a 19-6 rout of Houston at […]
Reds Beat Marlins 3-2 in 13 innings
April 21, 2013 by
Opposing teams this season have certainly established by now that they won’t let Joey Votto beat them by pitching to him. That’s fine by Brandon Phillips, who will gladly beat them instead. Following an intentional walk to Votto in the bottom of the 13th inning, it was Phillips’ sacrifice fly that scored Shin-Soo Choo for […]
Red Sox Beat Indians 6-3, Earn Sweep
April 19, 2013 by
Terry Francona’s reunion with the Red Sox was hardly memorable as far as the Indians were concerned. In the manager’s first meeting with his former team, Cleveland was swept away seemingly with ease by a red-hot Boston club. On Thursday, the Tribe’s offense remained cold and starter Zach McAllister struggled with efficiency, contributing to a […]
