Despite a loss last night, the Indian's bats have to take some solace in getting to Mets ace Johan Santana. They take that and the fact they have their best winning option on the hill tonight in Mitch Talbot. The Tribe is 8-3 behind Talbot in his last 11 starts, and he has pitched to an impressive 3.59 ERA. The Mets are just 12-18 on the road for the season and Nieses' lack of consistency has led the Mets to a 1-5 mark in his start following a quality start in his previous outing. The Tribe has really been getting it done in this role behind Talbot as they have gone 8-1 when he is on the mound posted as a dog. Live dog in this one, Cleveland gets the call.
