All Hands on Deck: Lots of runs, not so much pitching

Jason Martin (248/301/496), who had two hits, led off the tenth with a double to drive in the fake runner in a win the pitchers nearly blew.

The Indians had given starter Eduardo Vera (3-4, 6.56) a 5-1 lead into the bottom of the sixth that he could not hold, as two walks and two hits turned into four runs to tie the game when Tyler Lyons gave up a two-out, two-run double to the seventh hitter Juan Graterol (213/248/295). The bats took the lead in the seventh against Lyons on Christian Colon’s (303/374/412) fourth home run.
