#173---NYN @ CLE, 9/8/2013

This late season 2-1 game lasted 3:43 as twelve pitchers worked, and Daisuke Matsuzaka needed 103 pitches to go 5 2/3 despite only allowing 6 baserunners true to his form. His opposite number Danny Salazar needed 80 to go four, allowing a homer to Justin Turner.  The Indians reliever parade kept the Mets off the board until closer Chris Perez yielded a run in the ninth. David Murphy was on base five times for the Mets.

The Indians only run came on a bases loaded hit batter to cap a two-out sixth inning rally. In the ninth, Jason Giambi led off against LaTroy Hawkins with a single. Mike Aviles pinch-ran, and after Lonnie Chisenhall flied to right, he attempted to steal on a 1-0 pitch to Drew Stubbs. He was called out, leading to his ejection. Stubbs struck out swinging to complete his golden sombrero and bring the game to an end.
