Indians @ Red Sox
Indians 11 - Red Sox 10 (10 innings)
Indians lead series 2-0
Crappy bullpen play caused us to lose this game. We led by three runs going into the top of the ninth, but Rich Garces came in and gave up three runs to let the Indians tie the game on hits by Lofton, Vizquel, Belle, and Thome. Butch Henry then came in and allowed a two-run homer to Carlos Baerga in the 10th to help them win. We got a run in the bottom of the tenth to pull within one and put the walk-off run at the plate, but could do nothing with it. We now head to Cleveland down two games to none, and look like we'll be headed home early this post-season.

============================================================================
THE REST OF THE PLAYOFFS
YANKEES vs. MARINERS
The Mariners tie the series at 1-1 on a solid start by Bosio (7 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 5 BB) and a huge game out of the offense. Ichiro, Joey Cora, A-Rod, and Edgar Martinez all drove in two runs, while Griffey Jr. and Rich Amaral each drove in one.
Series tied at 1-1
ASTROS vs. ROCKIES
The Rockies go up 2-0 with another strong pitching performance. Armando Reynoso went 7 2/3 innings and allowed only two runs on four hits and two walks.
Rockies lead series 2-0
DODGERS vs. MARLINS
The Dodgers also manage to take a commanding series lead with the help of a strong start by Ramon Martinez and three RBI's, a homer, and two doubles by Raul Mondesi. Martinez went seven innings and allowed two runs on six hits while striking out seven. A.J. Burnett also pitched well, going six and allowing one run on five hits with six K's, but again the Marlins were the unfortunate losers.
Dodgers lead series 2-0
