Bad Night for Pitchers
Jose Contreras pitched his worst outing of the year, giving up six earned runs in five innings, raising his ERA to 2.53. He wasn't alone however. Indians starter Paul Byrd continued his struggles, giving up five runs in six innings. Once again, however, the Cleveland offense came to life with Byrd on the mound.
The starters were not alone, however. The teams combined to use seven relievers, and five of them allowed runs. The Cleveland pen was better, giving up just three runs to Chicago's six. The Indians take three out of four from the White Sox by a score of 12-8 tonight.
The Indians take 4 of 7 from Detroit and Chicago. The Yankees taking the first three against the Tigers gives them a big boost as well.

Was watching Belliard foul off pitch after pitch against McCarthy before taking him deep for a three run shot to left. I wish AJ had gone out there to urge the youngster to get eager Ronnie to chase a high hard one out of the zone for strike three. Last year saw Belliard go deep off the A's at the Jake. After that he was surrounded by four hotties at a Cleveland Club, he sure knows how to PARTY!
