Baseballs:

 

**Mark Buerhle- This might have been the last time the Indians face Mark as a division rival.  He is going to be a free agent, and I am going to say this now….it would be fantastic to see him in an Indians uniform.  Is it going to happen?  Who knows, the Indians need an Innings eater for 2012, but it might be doubtful, I see the Cardinals going after him hard, and he is from that area.  But tonight, 6 strong innings, giving up 2 runs, (2 earned), he walked 2, striking out 2.  Mark has a 3.72 ERA, and won his 12th game of the season.

 

**Brent Morel- Brent went 2-4, hit his 9th Home Run of the season, drove in 3 runs, giving him 39 RBIs.  He is now hitting .254.

 

**Alejandro De Aza- Alejandro went 2-5, he drove in 2 runs, giving him 23 RBIs.  De Aza is now hitting .328.

 

**Alex Rios- Alex went 1-4, he hit his 12th Home Run of the season, drove in his 42nd RBI, and is now hitting .223.

 

**Alexei Ramirez- Alexei went 1-5, but that hit was his 15th Home Run of the season, giving him his 68th RBI.  He is hitting .271 on the season.

 

**Dayan Viciedo- Dayan went 1-3 with a walk, he scored 2 runs, and is hitting .278.

 

**Will Ohman- Will threw 2/3 of an inning, not giving up any runs, he has a 4.50 ERA.

 

**Sergio Santos- It wasn’t a save situation, but it didn’t have to be.  He threw a scoreless inning, striking out 1.  Sergio has a 3.38 ERA.

 

**Travis Hafner- Pronk went 1-3 with a walk, he hit his 13th Home Run of the season, he drove in 2 runs, giving him 57 RBIs.  He is hitting .280 on the year.

 

**Jason Kipnis- Jason went 1-3, he drove in his 16th RBI.  He is hitting .294 on the season.

 

**Jason Donald- Jason went 1-3 with a walk, he is hitting .311.

 

**Carlos Santana- Carlos went 1-4, but he drove in his 78th RBI of the season.  Carlos is hitting .238.

 

**Frank Herrmann- Frank threw a scoreless inning, he has a 5.37 ERA.

 

1/2 Baseball, 1/2 Goofball:

 

**Ubaldo Jimenez- For 6 innings, Jimenez was very strong, but unfortunately, he ran out of gas, and gave up 3 more runs in the 7th inning.  So, Jimenez worked 7 innings, giving up 4 runs, (4 earned), he walked 2, and struck out 7.  Ubaldo lost his 12th game, and has a 4.52 ERA.

 

Goofballs:

 

**Chad Durbin- Chad gave up 3 Home Runs in the 8th inning, putting the game out of reach.  1 inning of work, giving up 4 runs, (4 earned), he walked 1, had 1 strikeout.  Chad has a 5.45 ERA.

 

**Indians Offense- 4 runs on 8 hits, but nobody had a multi=hit game, and left 5 men on base.

 

**Jason Frasor- Jason worked 1/3 of an inning, gave up 1 run, 91 earned), he has a 3.39 ERA.

 

**Jason Crain- Jason worked an inning, he gave up 1 run, (1 earned), walked 1, and now has a 2.38 ERA.

On Deck:

 

The Indians had an opportunity to win, but Ubaldo lost it in the 7th inning, and the Indians lost a tough one to the White Sox.  The Indians have an opportunity to hang on second place in the standings, and to split the series, if they can win Thursday evening.  The game will start at 7:05 PM, airing on STO, with Indians On Deck at 6:30 PM.  Phillip Humber (9-8, 3.59) makes the start.  He will be opposed by Jeanmar Gomez (4-2, 3.78).  The game will air on WTAM 1100-AM.  Let’s find a way to take this win, and keep second place in tact.  Through it all, Go Tribe.
