GAME LOG
CLEVELAND -- Dave Burba pitched seven solid innings to win
his fourth straight decision Tuesday night as Anaheim's defense
helped Cleveland score three runs in the Indians' 6-1 victory.
Burba (5-1) allowed one run and six hits to improve to 5-0 with
a 1.15 ERA in six career starts against the Angels. The
right-hander has been Cleveland's steadiest starter this season,
working at least seven innings in five of his last six starts.
Burba went out to the mound to pitch the eighth and made his
warmup tosses before Indians pitching coach Dick Pole came out.
After a short discussion, Burba was replaced by Scott Kamieniecki.
David Justice went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, and Omar Vizquel had
two hits and two steals for the Indians.
Cleveland, ravaged by injuries this season, learned Tuesday that
All-Star right fielder Manny Ramirez will miss at least a week with
a strained left hamstring.
Ramirez was not available for Tuesday's game and could be placed
on the disabled list Wednesday. The Indians already have seven
players -- six pitchers -- on the DL and have had to make 21 roster
moves since May 18 because of injuries.
Scott Schoeneweis (5-3) didn't get any help from his defense in
his first career start against Cleveland. The left-hander gave up
three earned runs and eight hits in seven innings.
Anaheim shortstop Benji Gil made two errors -- Nos. 12 and 13 -- this season and third baseman Troy Glaus had a costly error -- his
13th -- in the third inning.
Leading 6-1, Burba gave up consecutive one-out singles in the
sixth inning before striking Glaus and getting Bengie Molina on a
forceout.
Kamieniecki let Anaheim load the bases twice in the eighth but
got Garret Anderson to bounce into a double play, and like Burba,
retired Molina on a grounder.
The errors by Gil and Glaus helped the Indians take a 3-0 lead
in the second.
Justice singled with one out and Alex Ramirez, starting in right
for Manny Ramirez, hit a grounder that Gil kicked around for his
12th error.
Richie Sexson's hard grounder was fielded cleanly by Glaus, who
threw wildly into right field trying to start a double play and two
runs scored.
Sexson scored on Sandy Alomar's base hit to left. Alomar had
missed the previous six games with a strained left hamstring.
Vizquel doubled to open the third, stole his second base of the
game and scored on Roberto Alomar's RBI groundout to make it 4-0.
After Anderson singled and stole second in the fourth, Molina
tripled off the wall in left-center with two outs for the Angels'
first run.
Justice's two-run double in the sixth made it 6-1.
Game
notes
Cleveland has won 10 of 11 against Anaheim. ... Indians 3B
Travis Fryman grounded into his first double play of the season in
the third inning, leaving Boston's Mike Stanley as the only player
without a GIDP this season. ... Molina's triple in the fourth
inning was his first in 236 career at-bats. He extended his
career-high hitting streak to 12 games with a first-inning single.
... Glaus took out some frustrations in the Anaheim dugout after
his second-innings error. He had made a costly error in Monday's
game but later atoned with a game-winning homer in the 10th.
