Kipnis homered.

Yeah I finally heard that. Stubbs just got a double, two at bats too late. Wish he woulda done that the two time he was up with runners at the corners.....I think we'll get to phelps this inning....maybe....crap had runners at 2nd and third but Kipnis struck out.

On to the 8th.

Big at bat coming up for Kipnis. I'd like that insurance run.

Does Francona let Masterson come out to start the 9th? That is the question? I say go for it.

Masterson one out away from a CG 3 hit shutout.

Shit, Cabrerra went the wrong way on a grounder to short, now it's a 4 hit shutout...almost.

Strike out Game over we win......20 minutes till the next game.

Very entertaining game. Masterson was a stud! Just outstanding!

Maybe we get a flash walkup crowd for game 2 and I get my 30,000

GREAT game by Masterson.....let's hope we can get the same for the 2nd game.

Nice crowd. Nice win. I'm thinking Bauer has a good game. All I'm hoping for is 5, maybe 6, quality innings. Just keep us in the game through 5. The offense should take care of the rest. I'm pretty confident that we sweep today.

I probably won't be able to stay awake through the whole game, but I hope to wake up to a win as I have been.

Wow! Masterson pitching like a #1 to start the season.....

He has two 9 inning shutouts this year. I guess we can conclude that he has fixed what was broken last year. This is a very impressive run especially because of the variety of heros and contributors to each win. Go Tribe!

The secret to Bauer's success today, in my opinion, will be determined on whether or not he can show some control and limit the walks.

Two innings, no walks. 3 singles, only one out of the infield, and a throwing error by Santana the first baseman and NY ahead 1-0 mid second.

GAme 2 Starter for NY is Vidal Nuno, who was signed by the Indians and pitched in our farm system but not beyond Lake County. Tribe released him after 2010, Yankees picked him up, and developed him into a major leaguers. Has not had an ERA above 3 since he left the Cleveland system.

6 up 6 down vs Nuno.
