Kearns drive in five as Indians blast Angels

Baseball Betting Lines

04/28/2010 - AAnaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Austin Kearns homered and drove in a season- high five runs to pace the Cleveland Indians over the Angels, 9-2, in the middle contest of a three-game set at Angel Stadium.

Shin-Shoo Choo added two hits, two RBI and two runs scored, and Asdrubal Cabrera had a career-high-tying four hits for the Indians, who won for the first time in three games.

Mitch Talbot (3-1) kept the Los Angeles bats in control, allowing just a run on six hits in 6 1/3 innings.

"The first four or five innings, I felt sharp," said Talbot. "Pitches were going where I wanted them to. Luck was on my side tonight. They were hitting the ball hard, but right at someone."

Brandon Wood homered and finished with three hits for the Angels, who had won two straight and three-of-four coming in.

Joe Saunders (1-4) was saddled with the loss after giving up three runs on nine hits with four walks in five frames.

"Joe started with good stuff," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "Then, he had trouble getting ahead and putting hitters away. He wasn't as sharp as I knew he could be."

Choo broke a scoreless contest in the third with a one-out single to score Cabrera, who reached on a lead-off double. Kearns then doubled to plate Choo for a 2-0 lead.

The Angels pulled to within 2-1 in bottom of the third on Bobby Abreu's two- out RBI single, but LA stranded runners on the corners.

In the fifth, Kearns' one-out blast handed the Indians a 3-1 advantage, and Choo's two-out single in the sixth made it 4-1.

Talbot surrendered the bases loaded with one out in the sixth. But he got Juan Rivera to line out to right and Howie Kendrick to center, ending the threat.

The Indians tacked on four insurance runs after batting around in the eighth, as Kearns knocked a bases-clearing double down the right-field line off Matt Palmer. Scot Shields then surrendered a Mark Grudzielanek RBI single two batters later.

Cleveland started the ninth with consecutive hits off Brian Stokes. Grady Sizemore then drove Lou Marson in from third on a sacrifice fly for a 9-1 lead.

Wood's left-field lead-off shot in the ninth closed out the scoring.

Game Notes

LA is 7-4 against Cleveland at home since the start of the 2008 campaign...The Angels ended 3-for-8 with runners in scoring position, while Cleveland finished 8-for-19, but left 13 men on base...Seven Indians recorded at least two hits.
