Cabrera leads Tribe past Orioles
Baseball Betting Lines
08/12/2008 -
Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Asdrubal Cabrera went 3-for-4, scored twice,
and drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning as the Cleveland Indians
came back to edge the Baltimore Orioles, 7-5, in the second of a four-game
set.
Cabrera's RBI single cued a two-run eighth inning for the Indians, and made a
winner of Rafael Perez (2-2), who gave up two hits but no runs in 1 2/3
innings. Jeremy Sowers started for Cleveland and allowed four runs on six hits
in 6 1/3 innings.
Ben Francisco and Franklin Gutierrez each had two hits and an RBI for the
Indians, who won their fifth straight on the day they subtracted another key
component of last year's run to the AL Central crown.
The Indians traded starting pitcher Paul Byrd to the Red Sox on Tuesday for a
player to be named later or cash considerations. Byrd joined CC Sabathia and
Casey Blake as Indians who have been dealt away during this disappointing
campaign.
Jim Johnson (2-4) gave up two runs on three hits in 1 2/3 innings to take the
loss for the Orioles. Garrett Olson surrendered five runs -- four earned -- on
nine hits in six frames, with six strikeouts and two walks for Baltimore.
Nick Markakis went 2-for-3, drove in two runs, and scored for the Orioles, who
have dropped three straight.
The Orioles scored twice in the seventh to tie the game at 5-5, but Cabrera
and the Indians pushed back in front in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Shin-Soo Choo
was beaned by Johnson, and Andy Marte bunted him over to second. Cabrera came
through with a single to center, scoring Choo, and Cabrera moved to second on
the throw to the plate.
The Cleveland shortstop eventually scored on a single by Francisco to left,
giving the Indians a two-run pad. Jensen Lewis made it stand up in the ninth,
as he fanned two in a 1-2-3 inning to pick up his second save of the season.
The O's plated two runs in the first, on an RBI single by Melvin Mora and an
Aubrey Huff sacrifice fly, but Cleveland answered with four in the home half.
Jhonny Peralta, Ryan Garko, Gutierrez, and Marte each had RBI singles as the
Indians took a 4-2 edge.
An error by Mora allowed an Indians run to score in the fourth, but Markakis'
sac fly in the fifth cut the deficit to 5-3.
Game Notes
Huff went 0-for-3, ending his 19-game hitting streak...Brian Roberts went 1-
for-3 with an RBI and a run, pushing his hitting streak to 14 games...The
five-game winning streak for the Indians equals a season-long...The Tribe left
