The Game - April 11

The Orioles nearly blew a 5-1 lead last night to the Rays, but hung on for a 5-4 win. It snapped 12 game losing streak to Tampa Bay.

It wasn't his head, but John Maine was hurting after taking a comebacker off his shin in last night's Mets loss to the Marlins. Florida is 4-0.

Indians fans had to endure a 4 hour rain delay that began in the fifth inning. What made it worse was the Blue Jays eventual 13-7 win. It's the first time since 1985 that Cleveland is 0-4 to start the season. Adam Lind drove in 4 runs in the game for Toronto and now has 11 RBI.

Miguel Cabrera tied a career high with 6 RBI in the Tigers 15-2 pounding of the Rangers. Kris Benson had a very unsuccessful return to the majors- 7 earned runs in 5 innings.

The Phillies have to be concerned after ace Cole Hamels allowed 7 runs in 3+ innings yesterday. Needless to say, the Phillies lost (10-3).

Joe Crede said take that yesterday in his return to Chicago. The Twins third baseman homered off former teammate Jose Contreras, who was making his first appearance since August 9 of last season (Due to Achilles surgery).

Props to Jered Weaver and the Angels, who went out and beat the Red Sox 6-3 last night. It was their game since the tragic death of Nick Adenhart.
