Indians Keep Winning
The Cleveland Indians scored four runs of Johan Santana in the first inning and C.C. Sabathia and three relievers made that stand up for a 4-3 win. The Indians sweep the Twins to pretty much end Minnesota's chances at the playoffs. Asdrubal Cabrera continues to spark the Indians, hitting a two run homer in the first to give the Tribe a lead they would not relinquish. Detroit is currently losing 5-0 to Kansas City, so they could end up 4 1/2 games back by the end of the night. With five wins in a row and seven in their last eight, Cleveland is taking control of the AL Central.
The Tribe have now beat Santana four times this season, having already been the first team to beat him three times in a single season, according to the AP story.
