The Cleveland Indians did something Monday night that they haven’t done since 1992. With Minnesota Twins catcher Mike Redmond up to bat with runners at first and second, Indians third baseman Casey Blake fielded a sharp ground ball, stepped on the bag, threw it to second where Asdrubal Cabrera forced out Jason Kubel before whipping it to first baseman Victor Martinez to retire the slow Redmond. It was the third triple play in the majors this season.
That play pretty much downed the Twins against the Indians on Monday night, a game the Twins were itching to win to bring them closer to the division lead. Now, the Twins are 6 ½ games back of the Tribe, and a series win is the best they can do. Boof Bonser will go Tuesday night and Johan Santana will face off with big lefty C.C. Sabathia on Wednesday.
