Carlos Carraso’s return to the rotation began in impressive fashion a month ago. When the right-hander carried the intitial success over a handful of starts, it seemed like a pleasant surprise and an encouraging development for an Indians staff in need of a lift. After Carrasco’s latest performance, perhaps the time has come to expect […]

September 5, 2014 by
It was not an image that Indians fans wanted to see. Detroit’s Victor Martinez, a friend turned foe, ran up the first-base line, thrust his right arm skyward and silenced an already subdued Cleveland crowd on Thursday with a three-run home run in extra innings.

Indians Shut Out Tigers 7-0 to Avoid Sweep
September 4, 2014 by
Dropping three games in a row to Detroit would have been unacceptable for the Indians. With so much on the line and only a few weeks remaining on the regular-season slate, the Indians could not let the Tigers come to Cleveland with a sweep in mind. On Wednesday night, starter Danny Salazar logged his first […]
Orioles Blank Reds 6-0
September 4, 2014 by
Reds manager Bryan Price appeared to have had it with anemic hitting, lackluster performances and the steep descent his club has made since the All-Star break. There were some hard Orioles hits, including three home runs off starting pitcher Dylan Axelrod on Wednesday, but it was the Reds lineup that couldn’t get anything going during […]
Tigers Down Indians 4-2
September 3, 2014 by

Orioles Beat Reds 5-4
