Cleveland ? Even when Ricky Gutierrez does something right for Cleveland these days, something goes wrong.

Gutierrez strained his left groin while scoring on rookie Chris Magruder’s triple in the 10th inning, giving the Indians a 2-1 win over Baltimore in Thursday’s only scheduled major league game.

Cleveland's Chris Magruder, right, and Baltimore catcher Geronimo Gil watch Magruder's 10th-inning triple. The hit scored Ricky Gutierrez from first base and gave the Indians a 2-1 win Thursday at Jacobs Field in Cleveland.

Gutierrez, a major disappointment so far in his first season with Cleveland, drew a one-out walk in the 10th off Willis Roberts (3-2). Magruder followed with a liner toward the right-field corner that bounced off the rubberized warning track.

As the ball eluded right fielder Gary Matthews Jr., Gutierrez was waved home and scored easily, but grabbed his upper leg after crossing home plate.

The Indians backed away from mobbing Gutierrez as a trainer came out and helped him limp off.

“It’s been a rough year for me,” said Gutierrez, who signed a three-year, $11 million this winter to replace Roberto Alomar at second base. “I’ve been pinch-run for, pinch-hit for. Hopefully, I can get things turned around.”

Jerrod Riggan (1-0), recalled earlier in the day from Buffalo when Paul Shuey went on the 15-day disabled list, pitched the 10th and got his first AL win.

Ellis Burks homered for the struggling Indians, who went 3-4 on their homestand and will start an important season-long 12-game road trip on Friday in Colorado.

Riggan only found out he was being brought up late Thursday night, and arrived in Cleveland with only one pair of underwear and a shirt to take on the trip to Colorado, Florida, Montreal and Boston.

But Riggan’s wife came to the rescue, making the three-hour drive from Buffalo to deliver some clothes to her husband.

“She gets the save,” Riggan said.

Gutierrez has grounded into a league-leading 11 double plays, and he entered Thursday’s game with eight errors and only nine RBIs.

Before he came to the plate in the 10th, Indians manager Charlie Manuel said some of the Indians were kidding Gutierrez about being replaced by a pinch-runner.

“I told him, ‘Show me you can run and I won’t pinch-run for you if you score’,” Manuel said. “So he was trying to score.”
