Indians hold on in Anaheim

In Anaheim, the 1954 Indians held off a late surge from the 2011 Angels and won 6-4. A grand slam home run by 3rd baseman Al Rosen set the tone of the game for Cleveland early at Angels Stadium.  The win was credited to Art Houtteman (1-0) who went 7 innings allowing 3 runs. Ray Narleski was credited with his 1st save. Tyler Chatwood (0-1) suffered the loss. He was knocked around by the Indians, allowing 9 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings. Indians are well on their way to back to  back World Series if they keep this up. Angels are winless.
