BULLPEN BLOWS ANOTHER ONE

Cleveland, OH (AP) - Fans may have expected growing pains this season with so many young players on the squad. But, this is starting to get downright frustrating for many. Cleveland gave up two more runs in the 9th inning to lose against Texas 4-2 at Progressive field. The weather was gloomy, which was probably appropriate given the way the entire team played yesterday. Matt LaPorta was the one bright spot, smacking a two-run home run to tie the game at two in the bottom of the sixth. However, Moylan once again couldn't hold it in the ninth. Indians right fielder Brian Happel had his worst game of his young Major League career, going 0-4 with 2 strikeouts. Moreland came through in the clutch for the Rangers, knocking in the go-ahead runs with a 2 RBI double in the ninth. The win brings Texas back up to the .500 mark. The teams close out their series this afternoon at Progressive field.
