Play: Cleveland Indians ?110
The Rockies come into this game off a win against the
tribe last night, but overall they have been playing
terrible to say the least. They are a meager 1-6 in
inter-league play (in fact they are just 9-22 against
the AL in the last three years) and have just won
three of their last twelve games and are attempting to
do something today they have not done since the May 31
? June 2, win a series.
The Indians sent Hard throwing right-hander, Batolo
Colon to the hill today to face the Rockies. The one
thing that stands out is how he performs in the day,
as he is 4-0 with a minute era of just .083 while
throwing 23 strikeouts and allowing just six walks.
The tribe has won three out of his last four starts by
an average of four runs a game.
The Rockies counter with southpaw Denny Neagle who has
struggled of late. His teams have lost two out of his
last three starts against Cleveland and the Rockies
have lost five out of his last seven starts. In his
last three starts he is allowing opposing hitters to
bat .295 while scoring an average of six runs against
him. In his three starts against the tribe the
left-hander has an era over seven.
Some of the Indians have faced him before and look
forward to facing him again today. Travis Fryman is
hitting him at a .444 clip, and fellow teammate Ricky
Gutierrez is also successful against Neagle coming in
at .360. Finally keep an eye on Ellis Burks today, he
hits .432 against Neagle but more importantly is
comfortable in this park as he spent some time
patrolling the outfield for the Rockies in his career.
Only two Colorado hitters have faced Colon before
which means it will take the entire lineup a couple of
at bats to get a feel for him giving the Indians ample
time to jump on Neagle. The Indians look to strike
early and often after missing out on a winning
opportunity last night leaving nine men on base.
Finally, Sunday has had an opposite affect on these
teams, as the tribe is 6-4 while the Rockies are 3-7.
Play the tribe today!
Final: Indians 8 Rockies 2
