Jenn, it's looking like we've got a rotation. With Lester doing his thing yesterday, JB pitching this weekend and the Diceman looking more and more like he was expected to, things are looking better in the Fens. Tonight, Dice sat down twelve consecutive batters after opening by allowing a double. He K'd seven in six innings, allowed only five hits and, when it mattered and things got a bit tough in the 5th, he PITCHED--he got in a jam and, although he gave up the Tribe's only runs, worked his way out of it, cutting it off there and following with another solid inning of shutout ball. Since he's come back from the DL, his ERA has been a nice low 2.22--pretty impressive.
Speedy is still taking over the basepaths, although tonight is the second consecutive evening of getting caught stealing as well as swiping a base. Statistically, 12 CS's out of 82 tries is pretty good work.
Overall a good workmanlike victory. Two more for the season's end and then--the Playoffs! By the way, CC will not celebrate his first ever 20 win season as a Yankee this year. The Rays lit him up really good.
