Indians' 8 Game Win Streak Over Twins Snapped

Dating back to last year, the Indians had won 8 straight over the Twins. Today Nick Blackburn ended that.

Bats Hitting, Not Scoring: They pretty much were. Blackburn gave up 8 hits but really held them in check at that point. He didn't walk any and got four ground ball double plays.

Garko and Asdrubal Cabrera got two hits and everyone but Hafner, Dellucci and Carroll got them. Carroll reached base again when he was hit by a pitch.

They never really capitalized on any chances, nor did they really have any. Blackburn pitched a great game.

Westbrook Good Again: Aside from a Justin Morneau homer in the first inning, Westbrook did a great job of keeping the Twins off the board and keeping his team in it.

It was just one of those games where you played okay, you had some good pitching, but the other guy did better.

It happens.

Tomorrow Paul Byrd looks to improve upon his last start against Scott Baker.
