Grady Sizemore led off the game with a homer, and the Indians added another
tally in the first and three in the third (Eric Wedge thought it should have
been at least four – he was run arguing with that Mark DeRosa had scored rather
than been gunned out at the plate to end the inning). Shin-Soo Choo added a
two-run shot in the fourth, and it was 7-0
Tampa Bay starting coming back against Anthony Reyes, scoring three in the
fourth and two in the fifth. In the seventh they cut it to 7-6 on a Jensen
Lewis wild pitch. Ben Zobrist homered off Rafael Betancourt to tie it leading
off the eighth. Meanwhile, the Rays bullpen (including Troy Percival) was
shutting the Indians down, yielding just one hit and two walks over 5 2/3
innings. In the bottom of the ninth, BJ Upton walked off Luis Vizcaino with a
homer to left. From 7-0
Tampa ran wild on Victor Martinez in this one – BJ Upton and Carl Crawford each swiped two bags, Ben Zobrist one, and while Aki Iwamura was caught stealing, they also benefited from two wild pitches.
