The Indians put on a home run clinic last night in Progressive Field, going yard 7 times and racking up 14 runs on 17 hits against the Phillies. 2-time Cy Young winner Roy Halladay had the start for the Phils, and the Tribe showed him no respect. Ryan Rayburn went 3-4 with  2HR, 3 runs and 3 RBI's. Carlos Santana went 1-2 with a HR and 2 RBI's. Mark Reynolds went 2-4 with 2 runs, 1 HR and 2 RBI's. Lonnie Chisenhall went 1-4 with 1 HR, 1 run and 2 RBI's. Michael Brantley went 1-5 on 1 hit with 1 HR and 2 RBI's. Drew Stubbs went 3-4 with 3 runs on 3 hits, 1 HR and 1 RBI. Zach McAllister pitched 7 innings, giving up 5 hits and 2 earned runs. He walked 1 and struck out 4.

The Tribe takes on the Phillies again tonight in Cleveland at 7:05. Trevor Bauer (0-1  5.40 ERA) was brought up from Triple-A Columbus for the spot start. He will head back after tonight's game. The Indians also optioned Nick Hagadone to the Clippers to give Bauer a roster spot. Bauer's last start for Cleveland was a loss to the Rays in Tampa on April 6th. He pitched 5 innings giving up 3 hits, and 2 earned runs. He walked 7 Tampa Bay batters and struck out 2. The Phillies will start former Indians' pitcher Cliff Lee (2-1 3.30 ERA) who won the Cy Young Award with the Tribe in 2008. This is the first time the left-handed Lee has faced the Indians since being traded in 2009.
