Kasmir gives up a homer. But strikes out 2 more for 10 total. First Indian pitcher to strike out 10 in a game this season.

tribe goes 123.

9-1

Albers in for the 7th.

This can't last forever, can it? But it's fun while it does last!

Civ: Yes it is, gotta enjoy it while it lasts.

Albers gets into trouble at the top of the 8th....he struck the first two out in the seventh but struggled with the last out..... giving up a run and loading the bases with no out. Cody Allen in.

Allen gets his first strike out, and the second strike out.....one to go. Ground out to short....and he sends three down on 12 pitches.

Stubbs legs it out to beat the throw to first. Hustling like that at 9-1..nice.

He didn't dive into first like Giambi??

At some point Albers will become the odd man out when the bullpen drops down to 7 men and Pestano is back. Allen is another good one, although a bit inconsistent. He and Shaw and Smith and Pestano and Hagadone and I guess Hill are quite a collection of set up men and several are potential closers.

12,477 in attendance........ 2000 walkups.

Kazmir's pitching line: 6-5-1-1-0-10. Comeback Award candidate, of course he needs to stay healthy another 4 or 5 months.

Sweep. 4 games over .500, on to Detroit.

Did this today with our beset hitter, Santana, sitting out.

Beautiful day at the ballpark today! Attendance was larger than I expected, about 12,000. Plenty of great seats available, and fans moved freely among them. Plenty to cheer about, too! Kazmir looked great.

..............WE WIN!!!
