Indians starting pitcher, Matthew Kemp, kept the score close until the third inning. First baseman, Bobby Glinton, helped the defensive effort with a double play at first in the first inning. But led by the hitting of Paul Smith—who drove in two runs with a double in the third--and the pitching of Rodney Forbes, the division-leading Tigers scored seven runs in the top of the third inning to go up on the Indians, 8-0.


Alexander Euteneuer replaced Kemp on the mound in the third, and the Indians battled back with five runs on two hits in the bottom of the inning, to make the score 8-5.


Dominic Bower’s triple in the fourth drove in three more scores to tie the game. The Indians then scored two more times in the inning to take the lead 10-8 in the fourth. 8


Euteneuer kept the Tigers caged with his pitching in the following two innings—allowing only one more run--while the Indians scored again to close the game with a final score of 11-9. Euteneuer also went 4-for-4 at the plate.


The Indians hope to keep their playoff run alive when they meet the Giants on Wednesday.
