Borowski blows it, but Tribe tops L.A. in 10th

Cliff Lee had another terrific outing on Friday night.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joe Borowski got his first victory of the season — as a result of his third blown save.

Cliff Lee had only a no-decision to show for another Cy Young-type outing.

Jhonny Peralta hit a two-run double with two out in the 10th inning after the Cleveland bullpen squandered a four-run lead for Lee, and the Indians beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 Friday in their first regular-season meeting at Chavez Ravine.

“Fortunately, we were able to win the game, but Cliff deserved better than that,” Borowski said.

Cleveland loaded the bases with none out against closer Takashi Saito (3-3).

The Dodgers pulled the infield in, and Franklin Gutierrez grounded into a 6-2-5 double play started by shortstop Angel Berroa. But Peralta drove an 0-1 pitch over the head of right fielder Andre Ethier, who fell down on the play as Jamey Carroll and Ben Francisco scored.

“These guys have always been fighters, and it’s never been more evident than it was tonight. “Our guys work hard to stay on an even keel and keep our chins up. And that’s what they did,” manager Eric Wedge said.

Borowski (1-2) came on in the ninth with a 4-2 lead. The right-hander, who led the AL with 45 saves last season despite a 5.07 ERA, gave up a single to Berroa and a double by Russell Martin to open the inning.

One out later, Juan Pierre drove in Berroa with a grounder off Borowski’s right ankle. Pierre stole second while catcher Kelly Shoppach kept an eye on Martin at third, and Matt Kemp was walked intentionally.

“There was really one pitch in that whole inning that I’d take back, and that’s the one to Martin,” Borowski said. “I missed my spot and he hit a double.

“I made my pitch to Berroa and he stuck his bat out, so there’s nothing you can do. Pierre hit a one-hopper — and if I had any type of athletic ability, I could have fielded my position and gotten him.”

Jeff Kent delivered the tying run with a groundout to shortstop. But Andy LaRoche flied out to center after an intentional walk to James Loney reloaded the bases.

Masahide Kobayashi got three outs for his fourth save in six chances.

“It was very frustrating,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. “But I was very pleased with the fight we showed, coming back — especially when we were dominated most of the game.”
