The 2010 Cleveland Indians season marked the 110th season for the franchise, with the Indians attempting to improve on their fourth-place finish in the American League Central in 2009. The team played all of its home games at Progressive Field. In addition, this was the second season for the Indians playing their spring training games in Goodyear, Arizona. Manny Acta took over as the manager in 2010, after the Indians fired Eric Wedge at the end of his seventh season managing the Indians. Acta was formerly the manager of the Washington Nationals. Fausto Carmona represented the team at the 2010 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

Regular season
editOn June 2, Detroit's Armando Galarraga squared off against Roberto Hernandez. Neither pitcher would walk a batter that night. In the bottom of the 2nd inning, Miguel Cabrera homered giving the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Until the bottom of the 8th, that would be the game's only run. With 2 outs, Magglio Ordonez drove in Austin Jackson, making it 2-0 and a throwing error by Shin-Soo Choo allowed Johnny Damon to follow, making it 3-0. Galarraga retired the first 26 Indians. In the top of the 9th, Jackson preserved the bid for perfection with a stellar over-the-shoulder catch off the bat of Mark Grudzielanek. With 2 outs, Jason Donald hit a soft groundball to the right side of the infield. The play at first base was very close, but the 1st base umpire Jim Joyce ruled Donald safe. However, the replay showed that Donald was out by a step. Donald would steal 2nd and 3rd on defensive indifference. Despite the infamous call, Trevor Crowe grounded out for the final out of the game.
Trade deadline moves
editFor the third consecutive year, the Indians were significant participants in trade deadline moves. Jhonny Peralta went first, three days before the deadline. Austin Kearns went the night before, while pitchers Jake Westbrook and Kerry Wood were shipped in two separate trades hours before the July 31 deadline.[1]
On July 28, Peralta and cash were sent to the Detroit Tigers for Class A left-handed pitcher Giovanni Soto. Luis Valbuena was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to take Peralta's roster spot.[2]
On July 30, Kearns was sent to the New York Yankees for a player to be named later.[3]
On July 31, Westbrook was part of a three-team trade involving the Indians, St. Louis Cardinals, and San Diego Padres. He went to the Cardinals, while the Indians received Class AA right-handed pitcher Corey Kluber from San Diego.[4] Later in the day, the Tribe sent Wood and cash to the New York Yankees for a player to be named or cash.[5]
