"Shin-Soo Choo, one of the few not to blame for the mess in which the Indians find themselves, brought a little something extra to the batter's box tonight. Choo went 4-for-5 with two homers and a career-high seven RBI as the Tribe overwhelmed the Athletics, 15-3, in a clash of the non-titans at Progressive Field. The Indians had not scored 15-plus since defeating the Yankees, 22-4, in the Bronx on April 18. Another last-place club proved to be what the Indians needed to pump oxygen into the lungs. The Tribe (32-49) resides in the A.L. Central basement. Oakland (33-44) occupies the cellar in the West. The home team had its moments, but the visitors did a much better job of showing what is required to be bad. The Indians snapped a five-game skid, during which they scored 13. They led, 13-3, through five innings Friday. Every Indian in the starting lineup notched at least one hit except for catcher Victor Martinez, who went 0-for-5. Martinez is in a 4-for-42 slide, dropping his average to .308. Choo's night began with a harmless grounder to second leading off the second. He had an RBI single in the third, a two-run double in the fourth and three-run homer in the fifth. Choo ruined his chance at the cycle by sending Michael Wuertz's pitch over the wall in right leading off the seventh. It accounted for the final margin. As the crowd let loose with "Chooooooooooooooo!'' the right fielder popped out of the dugout and waved his helmet. The seven RBI are the most by an Indian since"
