INDIANS MANAGER TERRY FRANCONA:

On Clevelands defensive contributions
We did some good things defensively[Gomes] throws out a guy stealing, we got a guy going to thirdthey pressured us
the whole game and we kind of hung on, but we also did some things to hold on.
On Marcums game
He does such a good job fielding his position and holding runnerstheres not as much room for error as some of the other
guys because of the velocity, but he knows what hes doing.
