2011 Cleveland Indians season

March 2026 November 2013 Cleveland Indians 2011 American League Central Progressive Field Cleveland, Ohio 80–82 (.494) 2nd Larry Dolan Chris Antonetti Manny Acta SportsTime Ohio WKYC (Matt Underwood, Rick Manning, Mike Hargrove) WTAM WMMSCleveland Indians Radio Network (Tom Hamilton, Jim Rosenhaus, Mike Hegan) The 2011 Cleveland Indians season marked the 111th season for the franchise, with the Indians improving on their fourth-place finish in the American League Central in 2010 by finishing in second place in 2011. The team played all of its home games at Progressive Field. During the offseason, franchise legend and Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller died on December 15, 2010. In honor of Feller, the Indians implemented many tributes to their former ace, including all players wearing No. 19 (Feller's jersey number retired by the club in 1957) during pre-game introductions on Opening Day, an outline patch of Feller's pitching motion sewn onto the team's jerseys and to be worn throughout the season, and the press-box seat used by Feller upon retirement made into a memorial.https://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/al/2011-03-24-975899190_x.htm Indians honor Bob Feller on Opening Day, all year USA Today Withers Tom March 24, 2011 May 4, 2012 The 2011 season started off promising for the Cleveland Indians, as they raced out to a 30–15 start (7 games ahead of 2nd place Detroit), but would go 50-67 the rest of the season to slip out of first place, postseason contention, and to another losing record. Still, the Indians' win–loss record improved 11 games from the year before.

This record was broken a day later with an attendance of 8,726. On April 29, the Indians set a franchise record with their 17 April win. They broke the record again the next day, ending April with 18 wins. The Indians tied a franchise record best start thru 30 games, going 21–9. The Indians had their best start at home in franchise history, going 14–2. Shortstop Asdrúbal Cabrera and pitcher Chris Perez were selected for the 2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, the first selection for both players. Cabrera was named the starting shortstop when Derek Jeter pulled out due to injury. On July 27, Ervin Santana of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim pitched a no-hitter against the Indians, allowing an unearned run in a 3–1 win. He struck out 10 and allowed one walk. It is the first no-hitter thrown in the history of Progressive Field since it opened in 1994. On August 3, second baseman Jason Kipnis became the first player in MLB history to hit a home run in four consecutive games within two weeks of his major league debut. On August 4, Justin Masterson struck out four batters in the second inning against the Boston Red Sox, the 56th occurrence in MLB history. On August 31, the Indians and Oakland Athletics combined for 39 strikeouts, a Progressive Field record.
