Starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff made it through four innings without allowing a run, gave up three in the fifth to make it a tie game, but then needed just nine pitches to erase the Indians’ 4-5-6 batters, the first and last by strikeout. He had thrown 91 pitches, but, having shown mediocre velocity throughout and it being just his 13th big-league start, Mackanin wasn’t going to leave him in any longer.
