Rain delay can't stop Grady Sizemore from leading indians over the Padres. The game started a little after 7, Grady hit a homer, then 5 hours later he hit another one. Rain delay made this one a long one, but well worth the wait. After the rain delay, Kelly Shoppach, in a hit and run situation half swung and poked the ball just over the fence in right for one of the more rediculous homers I have ever seen. Kouzmanoff then doubled in a run and Adrian Gonzalez hit a 2 run HR to take a 4-3 lead. Choo had a big 2 run single and Grady blasted his second homer that scored Kelly. Kouzmanoff then hit a homer himself before the Indians put the game out of reach with 2 runs in the 8th. Masa shut them down for his 3rd save. Game over. I did predict an indians loss, but that's only because Sowers was starting. That prediction was right, he didn't get out of the 5th inning and gave up 9 hits and 4 runs being once again highly ineffective. I really wish they will send him back down. The bullpen did show up huge giving up only the Kouzmanoff homer in almost 5 innings if relief. Fantastic game, if the offense keeps showing up and the bullpen is dominant, I see more victories in the future. I'm hoping for a sweep after this surprising win.
