Game 6: Carmona deals, Tribe sweep
It was a war between starting pitchers, as Fausto Carmona and Jon Lester went inning for inning daring each other to do better than the last. It was a thing of beauty watching them work. They weren’t perfect, by any means, but even when they got in trouble they both were able to Houdini their way out of it.
That’s when Manny Acta had to shake things up. In the 8th inning he called for a squeeze play that would fair successful and would put the Tribe on their way to a 1-0 victory over the struggling Red $ox.
Now, some people (especially $ox Nation) claimed that the final out was questionable at that Darnell McDonald was in fact safe as he panicked back to the bag after he over slid at a distance that looked to be at least 10 feet. Now, the call was close, for sure… but when you’re struggling the way Boston is, and you make such an awful mistake as that, the ump isn’t going to be ready to show mercy. It’s just the way the game works.
Tribe head way out west to take on Eric Wedge’s Seattle Mariners. Start time 10:05PM ET.
