The Spiders got a big at-bat from third baseman Kevin Mitchell. For the game, Mitchell was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the first, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 21st home run of the season gave Cleveland a 3-0 lead.

"We take it day by day here," said Mitchell, "and today was a good one for us."
