Elsewhere:
Andre Ethier, RF for the Los Angeles Dodgers was named the Majors Performer of the Game today. He went 2 for 5, with HR, 5 RBI's and scored a run. The Dodgers whipped the Padres 13-1.
New York (A) fans will be disappointed to learn that Mark Teixeira suffered a fractured right little finger while being hit by a pitch in today's game. After the doctor informed the New York Yankees manager that Teixeira was expected to miss 6 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the first baseman could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
The Cleveland Indians will have to make do without Scott Lewis for 13-14 months. He suffered a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder while throwing a pitch in the game today against the Texas Rangers. His teammates, understandably, were upset about losing the starting pitcher. "That's a tough break for him," one of them said. "But this team is resilient. We will just fill in until he gets back."
Ruckus Reaps 2-Game Suspensions
At a recent Indians-Rangers contest at Progressive Field, Grady Sizemore of Cleveland took exception to what C.J. Wilson of Texas said to him and tackled him. This led to an old-fashioned bench-clearing free-for-all between the two clubs. After the umpires restored order, they ejected both players. Today the league commissioner's office took action and suspended each player for 2 games, citing them for "inappropriate and aggressive conduct."
