Let us finally welcome the Cleveland Indians to first place in the AL Central, a spot that should have been inhibiting since the beginning of the season. How have they climbed back? The Indians starters have thrown 43 1/3 straight scoreless innings. That'll help you win games. In case you're curious, the longest streak ever by a group of starters is 54 by the '74 Orioles.
Wednesday night, C.C. Sabathia shutout the Athletics with just five hits and 11 strikeouts. The only bad news for Cleveland is that closer Joe Borowski is beginning his rehab on Friday.
Manny Being Awesome If you haven't seen this catch, subsequent high-fiving of a fan, then throwing out a runner for a double play, it's a must view. That's classic Manny, and while it has upset some, I absolutely love it.
Lacking Bullpen in Lackey Debut John Lackey returned to the Angels rotation that's already been strong this season and he appears ready to strengthen it from Day 1. Seven solid inning last night against the White Sox, allowing six hits and one run. Problem is, after he left, Carlos Quentin hit a grand slam Scot Shields. White Sox 6, Angels 1.
Brewers Find Someone Else to Blow Save A night after Eric Gagne recorded a save, Ned Yost gave Guillermo Moto a chance. Like most of his managerial decision, this one didn't turn out well. Even Andruw Jones drove in a run in the top of the 9th. Epic Blown Save. Dodgers 5, Brewers 3.
