The Cleveland Indians lost the finale of their three game series in Cincinnati today by the score of 1-0 in 12 innings. Here are my thoughts on the game:
- CC was great again today and deserved a better fate. He did it all today pitched 9 quality innings and got two hits himself at the plate. I think he has really raised his level of pitching even from earlier on this season.
- This loss is hard to take because we had plenty of chances to get a run in and we didn't get the job done. Not being able to push a run home against the sub par Reds bullpen is inexcusable.
- The Indians did the right thing today and sent down Jeremy Sowers to get his command straightened out. The club is faced with a tough decision on who to bring up for a start or two while Jake Westbrook gets back to health. I might be alone here but I would be in favor of giving Chuck Lofgren the start.
The Indians return home for a brief one game series with Seattle on Monday night with Paul Byrd facing Cha Seung Baek at 7:05.
