Recap – Grady Sizemore hit the first pitch he saw from Trevor Cahill over the center field wall and the Indians did not get another hit until the 7th inning after that. Carlos Gonzalez slugged a 2 run double in the 4th inning giving Oakland all they needed as the series now heads back to Oakland with the A’s in the driver’s seat.

***********************
I will admit, I am surprised that the Giants are making a series out of this. I thought the Phillies would handle them with ease. However, Cole Hamels is on the mound on Wednesday night and this should mean an end to the Giants storybook season.
Cleveland's in trouble. They have Cliff Lee on the hill on Wednesday going against a pitcher in Fautio De Los Santos who has been lights out in the post-season. If Cleveland should win on Wednesday, they will have to turn around and face Gio Gonzalez on Thursday. Good luck!
