“I have two jobs to do: Take care of him and to hit, too,” Shoppach said, referring to Lewis. “I am very happy for him to go out and handle the nerves the way he did.”
The Indians helped Lewis with plenty of run support. Cleveland got a first-inning run off Chris Waters (2-3) on a sacrifice fly by Jhonny Peralta, then went up 4-0 in the fourth. With the bases loaded, Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-run double and Grady Sizemore followed with a sacrifice fly.
Shoppach homered off Waters in the fifth, then connected off Randor Bierd in the seventh. Cabrera added a sacrifice fly in the seventh.
NOTES — The Indians tied an AL record when Gutierrez was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning. It was the 92nd HBP for Cleveland, tying the mark set by Toronto in 1996. ... Baltimore has lost 15 of 17. ... Shoppach has seven homers in his last 17 games. ... Sizemore went 0-for-4 and is in an 0-for-19 skid.
