John Axford bounced back from a blown save to pitch a scoreless ninth Wednesday against the Tigers.
Axford protected a one-run lead for his fifth save in six chances. He needs to cut down on the walks if he's going to remain successful; he's issued six in 6 2/3 innings this season.
Apr 16 - 11:28 PM
John Axford gave up a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, blowing his first save and taking the loss against the White Sox.
Protecting a one-run lead, Axford walked Jordan Danks before Alexei Ramirez came up with one out. Ramirez took Axford deep to left for the walk-off shot, Axford's first home run allowed on the year. He'd gotten the save in his first four opportunities, so the right-hander will be allowed more than one bad outing before his job comes in jeopardy.
Apr 13 - 8:41 PM
John Axford converted his fourth save in four tries Wednesday, tossing a scoreless inning against the Padres.
It wasn't that easy, as Axford allowed a hit and a walk and then watched the runners move up to second and third with one out on a wild pitch. However, he then got bailed out by a terrible at-bat from Will Venable and followed that strikeout with a flyout to end it. While he's given up just one hit, Axford has walked five over 4 1/3 innings.
Apr 9 - 3:48 PM
John Axford pitched a perfect fifth inning as the Indians defeated the Padres 12-7 on Wednesday.
Axford's career was revived in St. Louis last season. Now he is resuming his closing duties as an Indian. He has looked good in the Cactus League to date, posting a 2.25 ERA with six strikeouts in four innings.

Jason Giambi (rib) is on track to be activated from the disabled list on Friday.
Giambi is scheduled to play a third and final rehab game with Double-A Akron on Wednesday. "I think that's realistic," Indians manager Terry Francona said about Giambi returning Friday. "I think he's actually pretty good about being honest. When he comes back, he wants to be able to help us, and be healthy enough to get his swings and have enough timing to do some damage."
