Nuggets Even Series, Indians Rally To Beat Rays




In Denver, the Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 120-101 to even the Western Conference Finals at two games apiece. Chauncey Billups and J.R. Smith led the Nuggets with 24 points each, and seven players altogether were in double figures. Kenyon Martin led the team with 15 rebounds, and Chris Andersen grabbed 14 rebounds and Nene had 13 rebounds. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 34 points and also grabbed seven rebounds. Pau Gasol scored 21 points and had a team-high 10 rebounds. Game 5 will be Wednesday in Los Angeles.




In Cleveland, the Cleveland Indians rallied in the ninth inning to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 11-10. The Indians entered the bottom of the fourth inning down 10-0. It looked as if all hope was lost at that point. They were able to score two runs in that fourth inning, and two more in the eighth inning. They went into the bottom of the ninth down 10-4 when they were able to score seven runs for the incredible win. Ryan Garko hit a three-run home run down 10-5 to make it a 10-8 game, and Garko had 5 RBIs altogether in the game. Victor Martinez hit a two RBI single with the Indians down a run to win the game for them. Jason Isringhausen, who gave up the winning hit to Martinez, was hit with the loss.

The Cleveland Indians should be always competitive enough to keep pace with the others. I really like them; they’ve always been my favourite teams in MLB.Just read about them here: http://www.indianszone.com
