That's 4 consecutive solid starts for CC. He shut down the Blue Jays over 7 innings, only giving up 6 hits and 1 ER. He outdueled Roy Halladay to earn his second victory of the season. He's only given up 6 runs in his last 4 games after giving up 27 in his previous 4 starts. After a slow start, he's finally returning to Cy Young form, and I couldn't be happier. The Indians got to Halladay in the 7th, chased him after a Casey Blake double, then went on to score a total of 6 runs in the inning to provide the only offense they needed all night. I really thought that Francisco had a grand slam when the ball first left the bat, but i'll settle for a 2-RBI double off the top of the wall. Francisco is showing that he needs regular time in the lineup and could be a consistent power threat that the Indians have been greatly lacking.
It was a good day for the Indians and I hope they keep the offense rolling today as Aaron Laffey takes on Dustin McGowan in a night game at Progressive Field. McGowan has been pitching well of late and looks to improve on his 2-2 record. Laffey looks for his first win of the season after two tough luck losses and sporting a 2.24 ERA. I am excited for tonight and an hoping it's another good game and of course an Indians victory.
