Lopez Slugs 2 Home Runs, Indians Beat Orioles, 9-5
Cleveland catcher Javy Lopez had a 4-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Baltimore Orioles, 9-5. The winner in relief was Bobby Witt. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. He now owns a record of 1-4. Cleveland leads the American League Central Division by 5 games.

Cleveland used a timely hit from Albert Belle to get the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Indians ahead, 6-5. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Belle told the Cleveland Chronicle.
