CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) – Tuffy Gosewisch’s RBI single with one out in the 12th inning gave the Arizona Diamondbacks a 1-0 win over the Indians on Wednesday night to earn a split of a doubleheader.
Five Arizona pitchers combined on the shutout as the Diamondbacks avoided a sweep after Zach Walters’ walkoff homer in the ninth gave the Indians a 3-2 win in the opener.
Randall Delgado (2-3), the losing pitcher in the first game, pitched the 11th. Addison Reed gave up pinch-hitter Lonnie Chisenhall’s two-out double in the 12th, but struck out Jason Kipnis for his 28th save to end the 4-hour, 16-minute game.
Alfredo Marte drew a leadoff walk from C.C. Lee (0-1) to start the winning rally. After a sacrifice, Gosewisch singled up the middle for the game’s only run.
Indians designated hitter Nick Swisher will have a second opinion on his sore right knee Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Swisher was examined by Indians team physician, Dr. Richard Parker, on Monday at the Cleveland Clinic. He will visit Dr. Neal S. ElAttrache, the team physician for the Dodgers. A determination on whether Swisher needs surgery could be made at that time.
