| (MySportsbook) - Unlike some previous seasons, the talented-depleted Cleveland Indians have a very small margin for error in 2003, which means they can't afford too many repeat performances of Tuesday night. To their credit, the Indians did rally from a one-run deficit in the top of the ninth. Milton Bradley led off the inning with a hit against Seattle closer Kazuhiro Sasaki and Karim Garcia walked one out later. Ellis Burks followed with a single to left to plate Bradley with the tying run. Giovanni Carrara |
