Indians top Giants, get back to .500
SAN FRANCISCO -- Playing better baseball of late, the Indians improved their record to .500 with a 7-6 victory Saturday night over the Giants in front of 39,961 people at chilly SBC Park.In its first-ever series in San Francisco, the Tribe jumped on Giants right-hander Jason Schmidt for single runs in the first and second innings.
Two innings later, the Indians pushed their lead to 6-0 with a four-run inning. Two of those runs came off Grady Sizemore's bat. Sizemore hit a double that knocked in the final two runs.
From there, all the Indians needed were for right-hander Jason Davis, filling in for the injured Kevin Millwood, and their bullpen to protect that lead. Davis did his part, turning a 6-3 ballgame over to the bullpen.
It held on, too, and with the win, the Tribe ensured itself of no worse than a 6-6 record with one game left to play on its 12-game road trip.
