Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Jeremy Sowers only lasted three innings as he gave up eight runs on Monday night. Sowers put the Indians in a big hole against the Chicago White Sox and they went on to lose the game by the score of 9-7. Your starting pitcher has to pitch better than that to give your team a chance in the game.
Tom Mastny gave up one run while pitching three innings of relief. Edward Mujica and Joe Borowski both threw scoreless innings in the game.
The Indians did make things interesting in the ninth inning as they scored three runs but still lost the game by two runs. Jhonny Peralta led the Indians with a solo home run and three total rbi in the game. Shin-Soo Choo had two rbi, Jamey Carroll and David Dellucci both chipped in with one rbi each.
I do like the Indians chances on Tuesday night however. Cliff Lee will take the mound against the White Sox starter John Danks.
