 CLEVELAND (AP) - Ben Francisco had a memorable debut for the Cleveland Indians. Making his first start in the major leagues, he recorded his first career hit in the fourth and then led off the ninth with a home run off Tampa Bay's Shawn Camp to give the Cleveland Indians a 2-1 win.
"It was an awesome day," he said. "I was just trying to get on base and I ended up doing something special."
The homer came on a 2-2 pitch and landed in the left-field bleachers. Francisco, who played left field, has spent most of the season at Triple-A Buffalo, where he batted .329 with six homers and 34 RBIs. He was with the Indians from May 1-3 and was called up again June 20.
