Indians 4 Pirates 1
CC dominated us tonight. I don't know what our problem with lefties is this year given that our offense is lead by Bay, Sanchez, and the Wilsons, but it's certainly there. We mustered a whopping four base runners tonight, with Sanchez scoring our only run because he scored himself. Duke wasn't bad on the other side, especially given that he faced a more potent lineup that Sabathia did (then again, I shouldn't complain about our lineup tonight, it was pretty tolerable, if Burnitz is going to play he shouldn't bat higher than 7th). He gave up three runs in 7 innings but two of them could've been avoided if Burnitz played right field in a way that didn't resemble Sloth. He only gave up 4 hits in his 7 innings of work, but walked 6 guys. I don't really know what to make of that, it's very un-Duke-like and not exactly encouraging, that's for sure. I guess we shouldn't be all that surprised with the result tonight, given our interleague record the last two years and all.
