Well the first game of the “respite” did not go swimmingly well, did it?
↵Justin Masterson, proving yet again that he is only able to beat his former team - the Red Sox - with any regularity, was bombed tonight by the Orioles, and the bullpen contributed to the carnage by giving up an additional seven runs in a convincing 14-8 Baltimore victory.
↵Maybe the rookies can turn around the latest three-game slide. Josh Tomlin will go for the Tribe on Wednesday night, followed by Jeanmar Gomez on Thursday, as the Indians try again to take advantage of a lull in the schedule’s difficulty.
