Tribe bats can't back Clevinger's solid start

ARLINGTON -- Melky Cabrera stopped after rounding second base and put his hands on his hips, knowing there was no way he could retreat to first in time. The veteran Indians outfielder was off and running with the pitch in the fourth inning, but the plan backfired.

Texas right fielder Joey Gallo caught the liner off the bat of Jason Kipnis and then tossed it to first baseman Ronald Guzman, who stepped on the bag to double up Cabrera to end the inning. It was that kind of afternoon for the Tribe on Sunday, when a solid effort by Mike Clevinger went for naught in a 5-0 loss at Globe Life Park.
