The Indians take the 2nd game of the series in Philadelphia 10-4. Kluber pitched 6 innings giving up 3 runs, no walks and 5 strike outs. Cody Allen came on for 1 inning striking out 2, no hits or walks. Nick Hagadone pitched 1 inning and walked 1 batter. Matt Albers came in for the final inning and gave up 1 run on 2 hits and 1 strike out. Mike Aviles, Nick Swisher and Jason Kipinis all homered for the Tribe and Mark Reynolds added a 2-run double. Reynolds has been moved to 3rd base after the Indians optioned Lonnie Chisenhall to Columbus. Chisenhall has not come through with the performance the Tribe was expecting. The Indians are off tomorrow, and on Friday welcome the Mariners to town for a 3 game weekend series. The Indians are now 22-17, half a game in back of the Tigers. The Mariners are currently 3rd in the AL West at 18-21, 4 games behind the division-leading Texas Rangers. The Indians will send Ubaldo Jiminez (3-2  5.55 ERA) out to face the Mariners Friday. Jiminez has been much improved as of late. After a rough start, he has won 2 in a row. His last outing was 6 inning effort in Detroit. The righty pitched 6 innings, striking out 8, walking 1 and giving up 1 run on 3 hits back on May 11th. The Tribe won the game 7-6. The Mariners will start Brandon Mauer (2-5  5.97 ERA). The Seattle right-hander's last game was on May 11th. He delivered a 5 inning, 6 hit, 3 run game with 2 walks and 4 k's. That 4-3 loss to the Oakland A's was his second loss in as many games.
