#369---CLE v. HOU, 3/10/2001

 


This exhibition was played at a neutral site in Caracas, Venezuela. The Indians power bats (Jim Thome, Russell Branyan, Juan Gonzalez) clobbered Jose Lima for a homer in each of the first three innings, building a cushion that would be chipped away at by the Astros until they plated two on consecutive sac flies in the eighth to take a 6-5 lead. But three straight Cleveland extra base hits off Doug Brocail in the ninth swung the game back to the Tribe.
