Ronny Belliard Hit a 3-run HR off of Fernando Rodney in the 8th inning to put the Tribe ahead.

Wicky got his League leading 31st save. He is 2 ahead of Mariano Rivera.

Game Notes:
Casey Blake extended his hitting streak to 9 games he has went 15-32 .469 batting avg. with 3 HRs and 6 RBI

Elarton pitched pretty good. 5.2 ip. 8H 5R but only 1 earned.with 4BB and 4Ks

We've won 8 of our last 10. And 3 series in a row.
Our two losses were 2 of Wickmans 5 blown saves this year.

We are pretty hot right now but Oakland is hotter as we are still 4 GB in the WC.

We have been playing really well recently. If we continue, we may have a chance at the Wild Card if the A's slip up. Id like to see a new closer though. I dont think Wickman is going to hold up.

[Timah]

I think that Wicky can but not night after night like we saw in the Yanks series.

I would let Howry close if the indians have a save opp. 3 games in a row again.

Indians are only 3.5 games out of the WC. They have to bring it! I think they can get this done right now. They just have to pass the A's and Angels.
