Baseball Betting Lines
09/20/2011 -
Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Travis Hafner, Asdrubal Cabrera and Kosuke
Fukudome each hit home runs as the Indians took a 4-3 victory over the White
Sox in the opening game of a doubleheader.
Fausto Carmona (7-15) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks through
six full frames in Cleveland's fourth win in its last five games.
"[Carmona] did a nice job of battling the whole time. You have to give him
credit," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "He battled hard for the win and our
bullpen was lights out."
Chris Perez tossed a 1-2-3 ninth inning to earn his 35th save of the year.
Gavin Floyd (12-12) lasted 6 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits
while striking out seven. He did not walk a batter.
Adam Dunn doubled twice and knocked in a run as Chicago lost for the 10th time
in 13 games.
Cleveland struck early on Hafner's two-run home run into the right-field
bleachers in the first. Jason Kipnis reached base on a bunt single two batters
prior to Hafner's 12th homer of the year.
After back-to-back singles by A.J. Pierzynski and Alex Rios to start the
second, Dunn slapped a double down the right-field line, scoring Pierzynski.
Alejandro De Aza followed with a base hit to right to bring home Rios and put
runners on the corners.
De Aza was then doubled off at first when he wandered too far off the bag on
Brent Morel's fly out to right field and Gordon Beckham grounded out to short
to keep the game tied at two.
Cabrera broke the tie in the fourth with a leadoff home run just over the
right-field wall. With the solo shot, Cabrera tied Jhonny Peralta for the
Indians' franchise record for home runs in a season for a short stop with 24.
Fukudome added a solo home run in the fifth inning to increase the Indians'
lead.
Rios hit a one-out single in the sixth, advanced to third on a Dunn double and
crossed the plate on De Aza's groundout to second to make it a 4-3 game.
But Joe Smith and Vinnie Pestano each pitched perfect innings of relief before
Perez shut the door in the ninth to end the game.
