It's not that the Indians lost (because that is becoming a nightly occurrence), it's how they lost and how many pitchers and non-pitchers it took to do so.
Andy Marte, the Tribe's occasional 1st/3rd baseman entered the top of the 9th as the Tribe's 6th relief pitcher for the game. What's even better, he took down the side without giving up a hit or a walk. In fact, he was the only Indians pitcher tonight not to give up a walk. Even Nick Swisher, another fellow reliever, didn't stand a chance.
Sometimes you need a little comic relief to get through a tough night.
