Striking-Lee
Cliff Lee continued his comeback from a very poor 2007 with an eight-inning masterpiece against the Oakland Athletics. Lee held them to two hits and no walks while he struck out eight. Lee hasn't posted a great strikeout season since 2004, so to see him fan eight is very impressive. The Cleveland offense game him plenty of support (most of it late) as they handed Oakland their first road loss, 7-1.

I hadn't realized this until earlier today, but he actually struck out 50 guys in 41 AAA innings last year. His numbers with the Indians were awful, but he did show some signs of life. Quite a start to the year for him regardless.
