Boston Bursts Cleveland, 3 to 1

BOSTON: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 - 3 8 0

CLEVELAND: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 1 4 1

The Boston Red Sox are on the road again and hoping that it is a happier experience than the first road trip. First stop is Progressive Field for three against the Cleveland Indians. Pitching duel today, but neither starter gets the win. Either Boston is exhausted from all the runs (25) that they scored against the Yankees and has nothing left for the Indians or the Cleveland pitching is very good. But wait, the Cleveland closer enters the game and... a Red Sox homer and three runs on the board!! Boston's closer was a little more effective and only allowed one run. Both starters did great work. Perhaps keeping the starters in for the whole game would have been the way to go. Anyway, the Red Sox winning streak is still alive at eleven and the road trip does begin on a happy note.
