Indians 3-1 Victors Over Tigers
In a low-scoring tilt between the Cleveland Indians and the Detroit Tigers, Kelvim Escobar, the 16th overall pick in the 1993 draft, was the difference-maker. The Cleveland right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. Escobar yielded no runs over 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 3 hits, walked 2, and struck out 4. His record improves to 1-1. Earning his 4th save for Cleveland was Robb Nen.

Detroit threatened in the top of the eighth. Trot Nixon was at the plate with the bases loaded. He hit a run-scoring single. Cleveland limited the damage, however, and went on to win.

The Tigers fall to 4-8 and continue their wobbly start to the 2004 season.
