He was on a 5 game losing streak, but was able to hold the Tigers to 4 runs. During the past month, this might have been to large a defecit for the offense to overcome, but they finally woke up.

Things did not look good from the start. In the bottom of the first, Carmona allowed 3 runs, all with two outs. It seemed like the team was headed to another loss, but the offense woke up in the fourth with 4 runs.

Chris Perez came in and struck out the first two batters on a combined 7 pitches. He then got Brennan Boesch to fly out, which gave him his 17th save of the year. (more…)

The Tribe have the best record in the American League at 31-19, along with a six game lead in the AL Central over the Detroit Tigers. This is the largest lead in any division in the MLB. The next largest lead in only 2.5 games, which is held by the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central. They own a 2.5 game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers.

The AL Central is usually a very strong division, and the Indians are usually struggling to contend. As with many things in 2011, the Indians are very lucky with the current state of the division. The records are as follows: (more…)
