Game 60? Really? The season is flying by, so the Tribe’s turnaround (if that’s what it is) seems to have come in the nick of time. So what do we have tonight?
- We have Corey Kluber (6-3, 3.04 ERA) starting for the Indians. Kluber had a monster May, going 4-0 and striking out 60 batters. In the last 10 years, only Kluber and Yu Darvish have struck 60 batters in one month. (The last Indians player to do so was Dennis Eckersley in 1976.)
- Right-hander Brandon Workman (0-0, 3.24 ERA) is scheduled to start for Boston. He was just issued a fine and six-game suspension for throwing at Evan Longoria last Friday night when the Red Sox played the Rays.
- The Indians are in 3rd place in the AL Central, one game below .500. They have one more game left in this home stand before they start a long stretch of 16 games in 16 games. Momentum, baby.
- We may all be going to bed late, because rain is in the forecast until 9:00 p.m.

just when we get hot rain comes on…anyone know if this is going to restart or not?
so is ortiz a bitch now for staring down his homerun like he hasn’t hit one before?
I do like beating up on the Red Sox. 2007 Never Forget.
amen…
1999, never forget
i like the idea of giambi but i think this is getting a bit old now…
CABRERA!!!!!!!!!!! That was an ordeal. Boston Red Sox suck. ha.
What a game. Was listening to it live at work in Australia. Awesome!!
put another shrimp on the barbie mate, glad to see this was a intercontinental affair
Starting to click. Getting a new hero every night. Looking like last year now.
Worth staying up
2 hours earlier here in Singapore…couldnt listen in the office, but thoroughly enjoyed this one on game day…great to see Carrasco stepping up to a consistent role in relief…a good option to soak up some innings and give the bull pen some needed rest…given he can get through the order once w/ out too much excitement, he should be able to pick up some more W’s w/ up to 3 innings of relief work
