The Cleveland Indians took their second game in a row from the Detroit Tigers. The Indians sent Zach McAllister to the mound for the start and he pitched 6-1/3 innings very well. McAllister gave up 8 hits and two runs. McAllister has done nothing but great things for the Cleveland Indians since stepping in for Tomlin. Tribe Skipper is very lucky to have Zach to come up and fill in and do a great job from time to time.
The Indians offense was being held down by the Tigers pitcher Doug Fister was able to hold the Indians score-less for five innings to match the performance of McAllister who also kept Detroit off the score-board threw five innings. The Game was tied at two after six and the Indians were able to make the most of the eighth inning tonight. First the offense took off scoring 2 more runs to go on-top of the Tigers 4-2 and then the Indians saw some of the best pitching of the season when Vinnie Pestano came in and was able to work out of a bases loaded situation to help se...

The Chris Perez situation, as it were, has reached some kind of initial conclusion. I’m sure it will come up again before the end of the year, but all said and done, against the Tigers when given their first chance to respond to the outspoken Tribe closer, the Cleveland Indians faithful were supportive.

Preview - Indians vs. Tigers showdown
Chris Perez expressed his frustration at the poor attendance by Cleveland Indians fans this season.
Perhaps those fans are waiting to see how their club fares against the defending AL Central champion Detroit Tigers.

In Cleveland, perception is reality.
If you want a look into the mind of
the petulantly angry Cleveland
fan, at least as perceived by closer Chris Perez during his outburst to reporters over the weekend, look no
further than the small table set up on the outdoor patio of Panini's Bar
and Grill on E. 9th St. in downtown Cleveland.

Indians in first despite lacking 'star power'
CLEVELAND -- Baseball statements are not made in May, so the Cleveland Indians three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers counts for no more than three wins.
But it's safe to say that the Indians gave the Tigers -- and everyone who conceded Detroit the Al Central title in the offseason -- something to think about.
The Indians beat all-world ace Justin Verlander Thursday afternoon...

Tribe closer Chris Perez has been lightning rod of controversy since his comments after Saturday’s 2-0 win over the Miami Marlins. On Sunday morning, he spoke in even deeper detail and refused to back off what he said. During that diatribe, he made a bold call – “I hope my first (save) chance is in a one run game facing (Miguel) Cabrera and (Prince) Fielder.”
He would get...

Maybe Chris Perez was onto something.
It is not news that baseball is much better with a stadium packed with fans. Loud and boisterous and cheering for their team, the Indians last night got a taste of what the entire summer could be like every time they take the field if they continue to play the way they are.
I was there last night at Progressive Field. It was my 10th game of the...

Yesterday on this very web site there was an article written by AJ Kaufman in which he wrote about the lack of attendance at Cleveland Indians games despite the time being in first place.
His view was against the fans of Cleveland, and he essentially called them out while providing some rationale for why this fan apathy has developed over the last decade even when the team has been...

Indians complete sweep of Tigers
After the final out, closer Chris Perez let out a primal scream and punched the air in celebration.
The Cleveland Indians, overlooked and underappreciated - even by many of their own skeptical fans - had swept three straight from the Detroit Tigers and their high-priced lineup.
Maybe the AL Central will be a race after all.
Unless the Indians run away with it.

The Tribe and Tigers wrap up their early-season showdown today at noon at Progressive Field. I, for one, am loving this preponderance of weekday afternoon games this year. This is something like the seventh "businessman's special" (as they used to be called), and not much is better than passing a few hours of a workday listening to baseball. Unless, of course, it...

7:24 PM – A little late getting started here, so let’s recap the first inning right quick. After an uneventful top of the first for Zach McCallister, Doug Fister’s works himself into a bit of a pickle in the bottom half. Choo grounds out, but then Kipnis drills a single to center and Asdrubal worked a walk. After a Pronk fly sends Kipnis to third, Santana flies out. Doug...
