Series Preview
I thought that with Santana slumping and today being a day game after a night game, he'd get the afternoon off, but instead it's Chisenhall who's out in place of the starting pitcher. Speaking of which, McAllister is 0 for 4 in his career at the plate. It would be awesome for the Indians if McAllister went 0 for 4 today (seriously, it would... think about it).
The Indians have never faced Lincecum before (not counting spring training). Bourn leads all Tribe hitters with 25 PA against the two-time NL Cy Young winner, but he's been held to a .217/.280/.261 line. Lincecum is off to a slow start, having already allowed 6 home runs in 21 innings. Maybe he can help the Tribe bats get back on track.
