Indians 9, Rangers 4

A series win this afternoon after getting swept over the weekend. Not only that, a convincing win the day after a shutout loss. Dare I hope this is a sign of inner strength that has been missing from the Indians?
Winning pitcher Jake Westbrook and the Tribe bullpen let the Rangers get no closer than 5-4 in the fifth inning.
The scariest part of the game was Ronnie Belliard colliding with an umpire in the field as he tried to make a play. Belliard left the game with a stiff neck and is listed as day-to-day.
The Indians remain three games back of idle Oakland in the wild card race. Baltimore comes to town to open a three-game series Friday night.
