The Indians scored four in the second (homers by Milton Bradley and Matt Lawton), one in the third, and an excellent start from Chuck Finley (six shutout innings, three hits, three walks, seven strikeouts). But after Einar Diaz doubled to lead off the fourth, they failed to record another hit, and their bullpen made it interesting. Jerrod Riggan allowed two runs in the seventh and was relieved by Ricardo Rincon who stranded runners on the corners. Paul Shuey made it through the eighth, and Bob Wickman retired the first two batters in the ninth before surrendering singles to AJ Pierzynski, Jacque Jones, and Cristian Guzman. He fanned Doug Mientkiewicz to earn the save in a 5-4 Cleveland win.
