On Deck:

 

At least the Indians split this Double Header.  It is difficult to sweep a Double Header, but Zach McAllister pitched very well this time around.  The offense had a chance to come back, but the White Sox bullpen closed it out.  So it’s off to another game on Wednesday evening, game starts at 7:05 PM, airing on STO, with Indians On Deck at 6:30 PM.  Mark Buerhle (11-9, 3.74) will face off against Ubaldo Jimenez (10-11, 4.49).  The game will air on WTAM 1100-AM if you can’t see it on TV.  Time to regroup, and find a way to win this game, and through it all…Go Tribe.
