#411---Louisville @ Columbus, 8/8/2013

Daisuke Matuszaka was pitching for the Clippers in 2013, never making it to Cleveland, but he pitched very well this rainy night (I didn’t note the time on the sheet, but I believe there was a delay of at least an hour before first pitch) against the Bats, allowing one run, two hits, two walks, and fanning five over seven innings. Another former big league name that never made it to Cleveland contributed as Jeremy Hermida hit a two-run homer. Vinnie Pestano, also trying to find himself, recorded a 1-2-3 ninth to finish the game.

#410---CLE @ COL, 4/1/2012

 A lot of runs were scored in this very late Spring Training game, including Travis Hafner’s first inning grand slam, but the real fireworks came when ex-Rockie Ubaldo Jimenez plunked Troy Tulowitzki (almost surely intentionally) in the bottom of the first, leading to Tulo being replaced by a pinch-runner. Colorado eventually led 10-5 after six, powered by a pair of homers (two-run and three-run) from Tyler Colvin, but Shelley Ducan hit Cleveland’s second grand slam in the sixth and the Tribe prevailed 12-10.
