Indians Shut Lynx Out 04/28/2007 4:35 PM ETMLB.com
Players Of The Game: Indianapolis outfielder
Rajai Davis was 4-for-4 with a home run, two runs batted in and two runs scored
for the victorious Indians.
Game Recap: Starter J.A. Happ started the game in
his typical fashion, shutting the Indians down for the first three innings,
striking out four over the first third of the game. Indianapolis jumped on the
board in the top of the 4th, putting the Lynx in a 1-0 hole. Happ rebounded
by striking out the side in the 5th inning. Things unraveled for the home Lynx
in the top of the 6th as Indianapolis scored seven runs, five of which were
earned and three of which were charged to Happ. The young Lynx pitcher left
after 5.1 innings having struck out a team-season-high eight opposition batters.
The Lynx offence, meanwhile, was limited to three hits and never really
threatened to make a comeback like Friday's exciting 9th-inning rally.
Indianapolis tacked on single runs in both the 8th and the 9th to close out the
scoring.
