The Indians extended their win streak to 10 last night, extending their pwnership of Justin Verlander in a 9-7 victory. Kelly Shoppach and Shin Soo Choo each hit a two-run homer and Fausto Carmona pitched just well enough to win. The Indians tacked on two bonus runs in the 9th, which proved to be needed [...]

Last night, the Indians
Lost to Barry Zito, who was charged with 1 run (but really, he left a guy on base who was let in by a reliever, so, really, despite what the box score says, we didn’t score on Barry Zito)
