The Boston Red Sox Look For Revenge Against the Cleveland Indians

The Boston Red Sox started the season off very slow and one of the teams that took advantage of that was the Cleveland Indians. The Tribe swept the Sox early in the season and now have another chance at taking down Boston.

In Monday night’s series opener at Progressive Field, the Indians look to win their fourth in a row against a Red Sox team seeking its ninth victory in 10 games. It was somewhat expected that Cleveland would regress a bit after opening the season a stunning 12-4, but the club has continued to flourish and owns a seven-game lead atop the AL Central, easily the largest of the division leaders.

The Indians, who have tied the best home start in franchise history at 18-4, defeated Cincinnati 12-4 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep of the defending NL Central champions.

Cabrera has been instrumental in the Indians’ start—they rank first in the AL in batting average at .266 and second in runs with 228. Cabrera went 5 for 5 with two homers and a career-high five RBIs Sunday, and leads the team with nine home runs and 32 RBIs. He is also batting .360 with four homers and 15 RBIs in 18 games this month.

The Indians swept a three-game home series from Boston from April 5-7, and have outscored the Red Sox 31-12 in winning the last five meetings in Cleveland. The series in April was part of Boston’s disastrous 2-10 start.

The Red Sox are playing much better now, though, having gone a major league-best 23-11 since April 16.

Boston arrives in Cleveland after defeating the Chicago Cubs 5-1 on Sunday to close within one-half game of New York and Tampa Bay in the AL East. The Red Sox have plated 54 runs while batting .304 in the last nine games.

Adrian Gonzalez has been the key contributor to this offensive charge, batting .431 with six homers and 19 RBIs in his last 13 games. He also has five home runs and 14 RBIs in his last nine road contests.

Although both team’s offenses are playing well, runs could be scarce in the opener with Justin Masterson (5-2, 2.52 ERA) and Clay Buchholz (4-3, 3.42) squaring off.

Look for a pitching duel in game one with the Red Sox getting the win in the series opener.
