It’s a good thing the Cleveland Indians managed a couple hits early to avoid being on the wrong end of a perfect game, because the offense was completely shut down by Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jeff Locke past the second inning. While he did not tally a mind-blowing number of strikeouts, he continually kept pitches in the strike zone and Tribe batters did him the favor of hitting everything poorly.
If you had some Fourth of July celebrations to get to, this was a great game. The Indians played as if they did, and it resulted in total domination by Locke.
