Cliff Lee
28 April 2009
nately for the Sox, they were also facing good pitching. Just as impressive for Cleveland was Cliff Lee, who pitched 8 scoreless innings, allowing 5 hits and 5 strikeouts. He did not allow a walk. However, hard throwing Kerry Wood came into the game and was not able to throw and of his 98 mph fastballs past Jason Bay, who provided the Red Sox with all the offense they needed. His three run blast in the 9th got Red Sox Nation screaming both on the East Coast and at Progressive Field. Then Pap surrendered a run to Cleveland before shutting the door and earning his 5th save of the season.

With CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee pitching lights-out, we will all have to watch to see what sort of difference Shoppach makes here.
It's just one more injurious insult to the Indians, who currently have Travis Hafner, Jake Westbrook, and Fausto Carmona on the DL, along with their new "answer" at second base, Josh Barfield, who sprained his middle finger one day after being called up to replace former Mariner Asdrubal Cabrera. The Indians have been slipping steadily behind the ChiSox in the AL Central and, with Chicago finally remembering how to hit, they will be hard-pressed to stay in the race.

win as he inches closer to snatching the ERA AL leader spot from the Indian's lefty Cliff Lee. The Sox are looking for their 7th consecutive victory and a series sweep before heading out to the doldrums of10 PM EST starts-- otherwise known as a road trip to the AL West.

tossed 54 straight in 1974, and the Indians longest since 1948, the last year they won the Series. Cliff Lee in particular has been lights out, starting out the season 6-0, with a microscopic 0.67 ERA and WHIP. Five of his starts have been shutouts, and two of them complete game shutouts. It's a mind-blowing beginning for a guy dangled in trade talks over the winter and generally considered to be a middle-of-the-road starter.
