#293---DET @ CLE, 5/16/2000


Luis Polonia and Juan Gonzalez homered off Charlie Nagy in the first, but Cleveland came right back against Hideo Nomo with a three-run first. They knocked Nomo out after two innings and three batters with seven runs on the board, the coup de grace coming on Travis Fryman’s three-run homer. Detroit’s three-run fourth made it 7-5, and from that point on the teams mostly traded runs to an 11-9 finish, Steve Karsay retiring all four batters he faced to earn the save. Both teams tallied fourteen hits, so there were plenty of offensive standouts, including Juan Gonzalez’ two homers, Omar Vizquel’s two triples, and Travis Fryman’s three hits.
