We’re establishing a mini-theme here for #190-192; close games that get out of hand late. Grady Sizemore scored twice early (including a homer) to give Cleveland the lead, but Los Angeles tied it with a two-out sixth inning rally, leaving the bases loaded after a long Kendrys Morales at bat.
In the bottom of the inning, the Indians had runners at second and third with two outs when Ronnie Belliard flied to right. But Vladimir Guerrero couldn’t handle it, resulting in a two-base error. Aaron Boone doubled in Belliard, Sizemore was intentionally walked, and Jason Michaels unintentionally, driving Kelvim Escobar from the game. Then Orlando Cabrera booted a groundball to make it 6-2 and leave the bases loaded for Travis Hafner, who clubbed a grand slam. Lee and Fausto Carmona would set down the last nine Angel hitters, while the first four Indians all reached and scored in the eighth to make it a 14-2 rout.
