Game 3 of 3: Indians 0 vs. Twins 9 FINAL

Game Time: 2:26 Attendance: 18,265
WP: Radke (3-3) LP: Sabathia (2-1)

PROPS TO:

*
Brad Radke - Gets the star of the game with a 3 hit complete game shut out. Completely shut down and had control of the Indians today, from the first pitch to last out. This is what the Twins needed and it is what they got. Struck out 8 and set down 11 in a row to start the game off.

 

*Jason Bartlett - Got the Twins on the board with a home run in the 5th, also had single and scored in the 7th.

 

*Twins offense - Twins were able to load the bases and get runs home, two of them by taking walks with the bases loaded and a few more with a single and fielders choice. Ford was the only one to drive in more then one run at a time with his double in the 7th.

 

*Louis Rivas and Jason Bartlett - This one is for what they did in the field, a few nice plays by both, helping to keep the Indians to only 3 hits for the day.

 

*Coco Crisp - Had a very nice catch to rob Cuddyer of either a home run or extra bases in the third keeping the game scoreless at the time.

 

*Rick Reed - The second base ump in todays game, he broke up the argument between Ted Barrett, the home plate ump and Ron Gardenhire. Also came onto the post game show and explained some of what happened.

FLOPS TO:

*C.C. Sabathia - Was only able to go 4 1/3 IP giving up 9 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 4 BB and 0 Ks. In the 5th after giving up a home run to Bartlett and getting Lew Ford he gave up 3 strait singles, walked in a run, gave up another hit and than couldn't throw another strike, walking in his second run.

 

*Jason Davis - Went three innings but gave up 4 hits, 4 runs, all earned walked one and hit Stewart with a fast ball.

 

*Indians offense - Couldnt get past Radke today, they did muster up two singles and a double, but could not put anything together. Didnt put down any bunts or attempt many ways to get on get anything going.

 

*Torii Hunter - The error in the fourth inning was a big one, the first hit of the game for the Indians, breaking up Radkes perfecto, it appeared to be the same brain fart he had in Detroit.

 

*Ted Barrett - The way he issued the warnings after Stewart was hit by Davis. He met with the other umps to decide a warning should be given out, then nonchalantly issues warnings, once Gardenhire got upset so did Barrett
