O's OF Nate McLouth goes three-run Big Fly in the top half of the 9th after the Tribe was cruising through eight leading 4-0. Tribe Captain Save-A-Game Chris Perez finally closes the door on the O's as that AL Wild Card Race is thick like the "MUCK" in the Everglades by Pahokee and Belle Glades Florida.
The Tribe get a gem from Starter Ubaldo Jimenez as he went six allowing no runs on four hits while walking two and striking out four. The Tribe's Three run sixth frame was the inning that knocked out the O's as Charm City's Hardball Team is had a rough patch in the schedule. O's Starter Chris Tillman was trying to get "W" #16 as he had a rough outing. Tillman gave up four runs through 5 1/3 innings on five hits as his control was spotty handing the Tribe five free passes.
Back to the Tribe they will not have Ace Justin Masterson for at least one start as he has what has been reported through media outlets a Rib Injury. A Team in the Wild Card Race or any race in September in the Show needs all hands or in this case all Starter on Deck for that September Run. Jimenez stepped up but they will need a few others in that Indians Rotation to do the same.
The Tribe seven back of the Tigers in the Central realistically have a Wild Card Shot only being back three games. The O's are eight back in the AL East but just 2.5 games out for the #2 slot in the AL Wild Card. The struggling Tampa Bay Rays are the #2 AL Wild Card as we go to press.
