Indians Pitchers Throw 43 1/3 Straight Scoreless Innings [MLB Walk-Off]

You Will Not Score On Cleveland and You'll Like It

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.

Any accolades or grievances you'd like to share from yesterday's MLB action, feel free to do so below.

Any offense is a winning offense for the Tribe.  They have the best AL starting pitching hands down.  But wait, Borowski is coming back soon!  Starters will have to have a 5-run lead or more to win or keep throwing complete games!

Thank you Carlos Quentin. Thank you for keeping me from breaking something.

It's good to Contreras pitching well again, now if this team would freaking hit and tighten up on D maybe just maybe we would not be wasting all the decent pitching they are experiencing.

The Manny catch was sick. He makes a great catch, high fives  the one Red Sox fan in left field as he leaps into the wall, then doubles up at first.

 

I saw this live and said man I hope Jason sees this for his morning MLB blog.

The local sportscasters here in Denver were shaking their heads and one called manny the biggest 'knucklehead' in the history of sports.  You could tell he wanted to say worse.  Manny is Manny, haters suck.  If he were on any other team, still in Cleveland for example, he'd be the face of the game.

I don't know how you can hate on that play... Player/fan interaction is awesome, especially if you can pull it off in the middle of a rather spectacular play.

I'm not sure the guy was a Red Sox fan though, lol.  He appeared to just be reaching for the ball.  It would have been even funnier if it were an Indians fan.

I almost did sign No. 344. I had just signed off the Q and went back to the game and saw the catch. Thought about the MLB blog (No. 343) and then thought I should sign back on to send you an email about it(No. 344) and I said no he'll see it on SC.
