Indians starter Justin Masterson struggled yet again Tuesday, though the offense and bullpen helped bail him out as the game went into extra innings.
Masterson lasted just four innings in the game, as he struggled with his control, throwing just 45 of his 91 pitches for strikes. He walked four batters and struck out six, while allowing five runs on seven hits in his four innings of works en route to a no-decision.
Despite plenty of early help, Masterson was gone from the game long before it was decided, as it went into extras. He remains winless over his last three outings, and is 4-5 with a 5.03 ERA overall. His next start is set for Sunday in Seattle.
