Johnny Damon made his season debut for the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night in what turned out to be a 6-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Starting in left field, Damon went 0-3 in the victory, but did draw a walk in the winning effort. Carlos Santana blasted his fourth home run of the season in the fifth inning off of White Sox starter Phillip Humber, a three run shot that proved to be the only earned runs that Humber gave up all night. Travis Hafner also added his third home run of the season in the ninth inning off closer Matt Thornton. Chris Perez closed it out in the ninth for Cleveland to earn his eighth save of the year.

After taking two games of a three game series against the Los Angeles Angels, the Cleveland Indians improved to 11-9 on the season and moved into first place in the American League Central division. Derek Lowe gave the team a strong start on Sunday to move to 4-1 already on the year. Lowe pitched seven shutout innings, giving up only three hits and walking two over 107 pitches. Chris Perez came into the game in the ninth in a non-save situation to close it out. The team will go to Chicago for a three game series against the White Sox.

While the Cleveland Indians have been playing solid baseball to begin the season, the team will have more help on the way in the form of veteran outfielder/designated hitter Johnny Damon. The team signed the 38-year-old to a $1.25 million dollar contract with the ability to earn an additional $1.4 million in performance incentives if he approaches his numbers from last season. In 2011, Damon hit .261 with 16 home runs, 73 runs batted in and 19 stolen bases with the Tampa Bay Rays. Damon also has a major milestone ahead of him if he can continue to play for a few more seasons - the veteran is just 277 hits away from 3,000.

The Cleveland Indians look to recover from a rough spring training in which they lost one of their stars, Grady Sizemore, to a lower back injury that required surgery and will keep the outfielder out for 8-12 weeks. The team will look to young studs like Carlos Santana and Sin-Soo Choo to pace the offense, while they will rely on the likes of Ubaldo Jiminez and Justin Masterson to lead the starting rotation. After Santana began the 2012 season with 2 home runs in the first three games, the Indians decided to lock him up for the long-term by giving him a five-year, $21 million extension that will keep him in an Indians' uniform through the 2016 season.
