Indians prevail over Braves
03/05/2006Indians at the plate: A big third inning saw the Indians load the bases for Casey Blake, who knocked in Einar Diaz and Franklin Gutierrez with a groundball single. Aaron Boone added a sacrifice fly. Jason Dubois, who was acquired in last summer's Jody Gerut trade, connected on a solo home run off Jose Ascanio in the fourth. Armando Camacaro came through with an RBI single in the seventh off Scott Mullen.
Braves at the plate: The offense came alive against Steve Karsay in the fifth, as left fielder Matt Esquivel blasted a three-run home run to left. In the seventh, Wilson Betemit, who had singled earlier in the game, launched a solo shot off Jason Stanford.
Indians on the mound: Jason Johnson used 42 pitches to get through his three scoreless innings of work, during which he held the Braves to two hits with no walks and a strikeout. Matt Miller and Danny Graves both pitched scoreless innings, but Steve Karsay was roughed up for three runs on three hits in the fifth.
Braves on the mound: Right-hander Kyle Davies breezed through his two scoreless innings, giving up one hit with a walk and two strikeouts. The going wasn't as good for Ascanio, who gave up four runs on five hits in two innings.
Up next: The Indians will travel to Port St. Lucie to face the Mets in a 1:05 p.m. ET game on Monday that will be shown on ESPN. Right-hander Jake Westbrook will start, with Jason Davis, Kaz Tadano, Tony Sipp and Ed Mujica also scheduled to throw. The Braves will return home to face the Tigers at 1:10 p.m. ET at the Disney complex. Left-hander Horacio Ramirez will start, and Lance Cormier, Macay McBride, Kevin Barry and Joey Devine are scheduled to work out of the 'pen.
