It's 2-1 Indians after three

The Rays get a run back in the third when Dioner Navarro homered to right field.

Indians 2, Rays 1

That was Navarro’s second homer of the season.

Navie is batting second today because Carl Crawford is not in the lineup, and Maddon wants to keep Jason Bartlett batting the ninth so the lineup has speed when it gets back to Aki. Also, Maddon never misses an opportunity to praise Navie for his ability to run the bases. Next time you get the chance, pay attention to the way Navarro takes a secondary lead. It’s a clinic for all you young base runners.

Upton update: There is none. Still awaiting word from the Rays clubhouse.
