Indians 10, Tigers 3

Ubaldo Jimenez, recently traded to the Indians.
     I don't know that much about last night's game because I was watching the Little League World Series.  I'll give you the facts I know, though: 1. Ubaldo Jimenez pitched like an ace in his first start as an Indian, going eight innings and allowing three runs on six hits.  2. The Indians had a season-high six doubles.  And if the Indians win today, they will sweep the Tigers for the second time this year.  They'll have to beat Verlander, although unfortunately for the Tigers, Verlander is 11-11 with a 4.47 ERA in his career against the Indians, with most of those losses happening at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
     After the win last night, the Indians have closed the gap in the AL Central to two games.
     Thanks for reading, and go Tigers!
Tigers need a win from Verlander.

    I think Verlander will get the W. He's 16-5 for the year and will surely win twenty games unless he breaks his leg or something. Let's hope that by this time tomorrow he's 17-5 and the Indians are back down in the standings where they belong. Go Tigers!
