Tribe Win Again; Cliff Lee Wins Again

Clifford!

Big Red On Fire: Who is the hottest pitcher not just on the Indians but in the entire AL?

That would be Cliff Lee.

Three Starts.. One Earned Run.. Three wins and gobbs and gobbs of strikeouts.

What's not to love about Cliff Lee and the way he is going right now?

In his last two outings, he's pitched 16 innings, given up four hits, one walk and struck out 16 batters.

That is insane for a guy who was sent down to Triple A last year for in-effectiveness.

What is it with the Tribe's Number Five pitcher?

Two years ago it was Jeremy Sowers for the second part of the year. He did awesome.

Last year it was Paul Byrd, and he was really better than any fifth pitcher should be.

This year... Cliff Lee and he is off to a fantastic start.

That spot might be lucky, and it might be the least pressured one in the rotation. Cause guys just keep having success there.

Casey Busts Out: The painful struggles of Casey Blake seemed to come to a little bit of an end tonight.

Bases loaded in the 2nd and McGyver came through for us. Knocking in a pair. He'd extend the lead to four in the 7th with a solo job.

Let's hope he is starting to show a little bit more life in his bat. That nine hole needs to be productive. He went 2-4..

Victor also knocked in a run tonight as the DH, giving Hafner a break.

Garko's hitting streak came to an end but his on-base streak is intact.

Tomorrow is a FOX game in the late-afternoon, Nick Blackburn and Jake Westbrook square off.
