    Lee pitches Indians past Devil Rays

    <h3>CLEVELAND 3, TAMPA BAY 2</h3>CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- Cliff Lee and the Cleveland Indians can'tseem to lose right now.

    Lee pitched eight outstanding innings as Indians defeated theTampa Bay Devil Rays 3-2, on Sunday.

    The Indians won for the fifth time in six games and moved aheadof second place Detroit by two games in the AL Central.

    Lee (5-4) equaled a career-high with nine strike outs as heallowed only one run on four hits.

    Lee started off the game by striking out the first five battershe faced before allowing a solo home run to Carlos Pena in thesecond. That would be the only mistake Lee would make as heallowed only two hits the rest of the way.

    The Tribe lefthander didn't allow a runner past first base afterPena's home run until Akinori Iwamura hit a two-out double inthe eighth. The effort resulted in Lee's third straight winningdecision.

    Closer Joe Borowski pitched the ninth to pick up his 24th savein 26 chances. He leads the American League in saves.

    Tampa Bay starter James Shields (6-4) was nearly as dominantagainst the Indians as he was the first time he faced Clevelandon April 22. In that start, Shields allowed only two runs on twohits and tied a Tampa Bay record with 12 strikeouts. On Sundayhe allowed three runs - two earned - on six hits while strikingout 10 in 6 1/3 innings.

    The Tampa Bay defense let Shields down in the sixth.

    Shields gave up singles to Casey Blake and Jhonny Peralta tostart the inning. Travis Hafner hit a ground ball that deflectedoff Carlos Pena to second baseman Josh Wilson. Wilson tried toget Hafner at first base, but the throw went behind Shields, whowas covering, allowing Blake to score to give the Indians 2-1lead.

    Cleveland extended its lead the seventh on an RBI single byGrady Sizemore. Shields started the inning by striking out KellyShoppach, but gave up a double to Ben Francisco, ending hisafternoon.

    Reliever Shawn Camp got Josh Barfield to ground out, but CaseyFossum gave up the single to Sizemore.

    After starting the season by winning his first six decisions,Shields has lost his last four straight starts.

    Cleveland tied the game at 1-1, when Peralta hit a solo shot toright field for his 14th homer. The home run snapped a streak offive straight strikeouts by Shields.

    Tampa Bay has lost a season-high seven straight games.

    Lee pitches Indians past Devil Rays

    <h3>CLEVELAND 3, TAMPA BAY 2</h3>CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- Cliff Lee and the Cleveland Indians can'tseem to lose right now.

    Lee pitched eight outstanding innings as the Indians defeatedthe Tampa Bay Devil Rays 3-2, on Sunday.

    The Indians won for the fifth time in six games and moved aheadof second place Detroit by two games in the AL Central.

    "Everybody is contributing," Indians manager Eric Wedge said."They're playing the game the way it supposed to be played."

    Lee (5-4) equaled a career high with nine strikeouts as heallowed only one run on four hits.

    "I knew my curveball was working," Lee said. "(Tampa Bay)really weren't swinging that well at it."

    Lee started off the game by striking out the first five battershe faced before allowing a solo home run to Carlos Pena in thesecond. That was the only mistake made by Lee, who allowed onlythree hits the rest of the way.

    "I think that's the best he has thrown all season," Wedge said."He used all his pitches and both sides of the plate."

    The Indians' lefthander didn't allow a runner past first baseafter Pena's home run until Akinori Iwamura hit a two-out doublein the eighth. The effort resulted in Lee's third straightwinning decision.

    "My past three or four starts have been more of what I expect ofmyself," said Lee, who missed the whole month of April withstrained right abdominal. "I feel like I am more in the swingof things. Hopefully I can keep this going."

    Closer Joe Borowski pitched the ninth to pick up his 24th savein 26 chances. He leads the American League in saves.

    Tampa Bay starter James Shields (6-4) was nearly as dominantagainst the Indians as he was the first time he faced Clevelandon April 22. In that start, Shields allowed only two runs ontwo hits and tied a Tampa Bay record with 12 strikeouts. OnSunday he allowed three runs - two earned - on six hits whilestriking out 10 in 6 1/3 innings.

    "I was throwing a lot of cut fastballs," Shields said.(Cleveland) wasn't making any adjustments on it, so I decided tokeep throwing it."

    Tampa Bay's defense let Shields down in the sixth.

    Shields gave up singles to Casey Blake and Jhonny Peralta tostart the inning. Travis Hafner hit a ground ball that deflectedoff Pena to second baseman Josh Wilson. Wilson tried to getHafner at first base but the throw went behind Shields, who wascovering, allowing Blake to score for a 2-1 lead.

    "It was a tougher throw for Josh," Devil Rays manager Joe Maddonsaid. "It came off Carlos' chest. We tried to make the play,but we didn't."

    Cleveland extended its lead the seventh on an RBI single byGrady Sizemore. Shields started the inning by striking outKelly Shoppach, but gave up a double to Ben Francisco, endinghis afternoon.

    Reliever Shawn Camp got Josh Barfield to ground out, but CaseyFossum gave up the single to Sizemore.

    After starting the season by winning his first six decisions,Shields has lost his last four straight starts.

    "The goal for the starting pitcher is to keep the team in thegame," Shields said. "We came out on the bottom end."

    Cleveland tied the game at 1-1, when Peralta hit a solo shot toright field for his 14th homer. The home run snapped a streakof five straight strikeouts by Shields.

    Tampa Bay has lost a season-high seven straight games.
