This was a non-descript early season game between two teams going nowhere, although the Indians did not act as if they knew that yet. Bartolo Colon, who would be traded to Montreal later in the campaign, was just ok, yielding three runs in 6 2/3 innings while fanning four. This may have been one of Brady Anderson’s best (or even one of his few good) games during his Cleveland career, reaching safely four times, hitting a homer, and swiping a bag.
On the other side, despite his horrible 3.0 career K/9, Nate Cornejo actually had a better K rate than Colon on this day (four in 5 2/3), but he needed 121 pitches. I’ve noted on here before how pitch counts of this type are something that has disappeared from the game in just fifteen years. Also note former #1 pick Matt Anderson working the ninth for Detroit.
