Fausto Blanks Toronto in Game 1

El Diablo getting it done in game one. His first complete game of the year.

Fausto Shutouts Jays for 2nd game in a row: Talk about helping out the bullpen for a double header.

With another game to follow, you almost completely relieve the stress off the pitching staff by going nine.

That is exactly what Fausto did.

9 complete, five hits, four walks, no runs, three strikeouts(all Aaron Hill), and two double plays.

Fausto pitched well, but the defense is what really came through in this game.

He was aided by two great plays by Ryan Garko, Ben Francisco throwing Scott Rollen out at third, and a spectacular flip from Asdrubal Cabrera to Jamey Carroll for a double play.

Like I said, with a double header in the the fold, it is just so big to see Fausto go the distance. Now this game can be played as a normal one for the Tribe staff.

The Asdrubal Man Can: Cabrera has been starting to heat up a little bit these past few games, and that is a great sign.

The big blown was a 2-out 2-run jack to right that gave the Indians a 3-0 lead.

Hopefully he is starting to turn it around and start hitting better.

Dellucci had the other big hit, knocking in the first run of the game with two outs in the 6th. Grady Sizemore had a big double in that inning and Carroll had moved him to third with the grounder.

Game 2 is currently in progress, with Cliff Lee and Shaun Marcum on the hill.

The Tribe is looking for a sweep and maybe just maybe three consecutive shutouts of the Blue Jays. They've only surrendered a single run this entire series.
