The 1995 Cleveland Indians faced more injury woes, as Omar Vizquel was injured sliding into 2nd base on a game-tying double in the 7th inning against the 1993 Toronto Blue Jays. Vizquel joins Álvaro Espinoza and Eddie Murray on the injured list just as Jim Thome returns to the lineup from his injury. Wayne Kirby had never played shortstop but was forced to fill in for Vizquel today. Cleveland took a 3-0 lead early against Pat Hentgen, but couldn’t keep it. Orel Hershiser pitched well into the 6th when Joe Carter and Paul Molitor had back-to-back RBI base hits. Eric Plunk got Cleveland out of that inning with a one-run lead, but lost it in the 7th after Paul Sorrento’s error led to 2 unearned runs to give Toronto a 5-4 lead. That’s when Vizquel tied things up in the bottom of the inning 5-5. John Olerud nearly leads the American League with a .459 average, but his 8th-inning bases-loaded sacrifice fly put the Blue Jays ahead. Herbert Perry led off the 9th with a double off Jays closer Duane Ward, and moved to 3rd on a long fly ball to right. But Sandy Alomar popped up to 3rd and Kenny Lofton struck out to end the game. Cleveland has now lost 5 straight games, One more, and they’ll be eliminated from the Tournament. Kirby had just one ball hit his way at short and made a clean play.
