Cleveland Indians vs Tampa Bay Rays
7:10 PM ET, May 27, 2011
Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida
Other than two scoring outbursts, the Cleveland Indians have struggled offensively the last two weeks. The impending return of Grady Sizemore could help end the inconsistency.
Sizemore is expected to return this weekend -- perhaps in Friday night's opener -- as the Indians visit the Tampa Bay Rays for a three-game series.
Cleveland (30-17) is looking to avoid matching its longest losing streak of the season, set April 21-24, after dropping its final two games this week against Boston -- including a 14-2 defeat Wednesday. The Indians had won seven of their previous nine.
"Every team is going to have a game like this," shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera said. "We have to forget about (Wednesday)."
Cleveland expects to get some help soon with the return of Sizemore, who has been on the disabled list since he bruised his right kneecap sliding into second base May 10 against the Rays (26-23).
