Indians 3, Tigers 2. [Boxscore]

Summary: Frozen bats dominate cold game.

Pitching: The cold clearly effected both teams, with the pitchers getting the better of things, but in the end, Sanchez's early control woes made the critical difference.

Out of the first 7 batters he faced, Sanchez walked 4 of them, including 3 in a row to start off the game. The 2nd inning cost the Cats the game as an error by Miggy, a walk, and then a triple (in that order) gave the Tribe a lead they never relinquished.

Out of the last 9 batters he faced, he struck out 6 of them, including the side in the 4th. Just like a car, he needed time to warm up his oil, I guess.

His game line comes out to 3 runs (2 earned) on 2 hits (1 triple) and 4 walks over 5 innings, with 8 whiffs. Of his pitches, only 61 of 104 were for strikes. The loss was credited to him, of course.

Season line: 0-1, 3.21 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, with 17/8 K/BB in 14.0 IP.

Evan Reed followed, and over 1.2 innings, he gave up a double, walk, and HBP while striking out 1.

Season line: 0-0, 0.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, with 3/1 K/BB in 5.0 IP.

Krol threw to 1 batter (Kipnis) in a lefty-lefty situation with a runner on third and 2 outs in the 7th, and got him on grounder to 1B to end the inning.

Season line: 0-0, 2 Holds, 1.93 ERA, 0.64 WHIP, with 5/0 K/BB in 4.2 IP.

Alburquerque took over for the 8th, giving up a single during his inning of work.

Season line: 1-0, 1/1 SV/OPP, 3.86 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, with 3/0 K/BB in 4.2 IP.

Chamberlain finished off the game, giving up a single and striking out 1.

Season line: 0-1, 6.75 ERA, 2.00 WHIP, with 7/1 K/BB in 4.0 IP.

Offense: The boys managed a total of 9 hits and 2 walks in this one, stranding 7 on 1-9 hitting with RISP.

They had chances to score in the 8th (4 baserunners total, with the Hunter GIDP and Jackson whiff terminating any further chances outside of the 1 run scored) and 9th (runner on 3rd with 1 out, with the donkelly striking out and Davis grounding out to SS to end the game.)

Here's how they did:

Kinsler: 2-4 (.319), Double (4), RS (9).
- Double and RS in the 1st; Bunt single in the 8th.

Cabrera: 1-4 (.227), 2 RBI (6).
- RBI ground-out in the 1st; RBI single in the 8th. [Video of RBI ground-out] [Video of RBI single]

Martinez: 2-3 (.316), BB (3).
- Walk in the 4th; Single in the 6th; Single in the 8th.

Jackson: 2-4 (.310), CS (1).
- Single and CS in the 2nd; Single in the 4th.

Avila: 2-3 (.192), Double (1), BB (5).
- Walk in the 2nd; Single in the 7th; Double, advanced to 3B on E-8 in the 9th.

Davis: 0-4 (.303), RS (7).
- Reached on E-4 and RS, 8th inning.

GIDP: Hunter (1; 8th inning), Gonzalez (2; 7th inning).

Defense: Errors, 1: Cabrera (1), ground ball in the 2nd.

Double plays, 2: 6-4-2 (Gonzalez-Kinsler-Cabrera), 1st inning; 4-4-2 (Kinsler-Cabrera), 9th inning (line-out to Kinsler, Gomes doubled off 1st).

SB allowed/attempted: 2/2: Sanchez-Avila, 5th inning; Reed-Avila, 6th inning.

I spoke earlier of a great defensive play Castellanos made. Here it is. [Video of play]

Next game: Thursday, April 17th, Cleveland (7-7, 4-4 Away) @ Detroit (6-5, 4-2 Home), 1:08 Eastern.

Projected starters: Danny Salazar (0-1, 6.75 ERA) vs. Justin Verlander (1-1, 2.57 ERA).
