Steve Trachsel and Fausto Carmona matched each other through six innings, each allowing one run to score. Trachsel threw eighty-eight pitches, but didn't come out for the seventh. The Indians took advantage of Chad Bradford and John Parrish to score four runs on four hits and a walk. The Indians take a 5-1 lead, and now have the bases loaded with two out in the eighth.

The Indians left Carmona in and he retired the side in the seventh without allowing a run. He's over 100 pitches now, so he many not come out for the eighth.

Update: Hafner slams a homer into the right-center seats to clear the bases and give the Indians a 9-1 lead. On the previous batter, Tejada made a poor throw to second that extended the inning, although no error was charged on the play. Like they say, it's a game of inches.
