The Cleveland Indians began their three-city road trip on Friday night with a series-opening win in Houston. Despite four walks, Ubaldo Jimenez had another solid start. He struck out eight ‘Stros in 6.2 innings of scoreless work, and the bullpen took if from there against the lowly Houston lineup. Vinnie Pestano came on to clean up in the eighth and Chris Perez converted his 23rd save of the year, striking out the side in the bottom of the ninth.

Roll Tribe.
There you go Ubaldo. Keep ’em coming!
Pestano gave up 2 shots to the track and another to deep center but Ubaldo looked stronger than ever. Im liking this team’s potential.
Ubaldo gives up 4 hits n 4 walks amd strikes out 8 and 0 rums, amd its just a solid start?
Masterson gives up a run and 2 hits and its a gem?
Come on! Lets be fair to these guys
