CLEVELAND -- Ricky 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 the Baltimore Orioles in Thursday's only scheduled major league game.

Gutierrez 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.

Gutierrez has a strained left groin, but doesn't think he'll have to go on the disabled list.

Cleveland's Chuck Finley moved past Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson into 23rd place on the career strikeout list, fanning eight in 6 2/3 innings to raise his total to 2,505 in 16 seasons.
