After bleeding an orgy of runs in the last two days, the Indians will try to get back on track this afternoon at 3:05 against the San Diego Padres.
Fausto Carmona did not fare too well yesterday, and in general the pitching has been bad at the beginning of this week as the Indians have now fallen to 4-6 in games that do not count. It would be helpful to get the pitching straightened out before the games do begin to count, in a little more than three weeks.
