<h3>Sabathia looks to seek revenge, chases win No. 14</h3>

<div class="pre">Minnesota (52-51) at Cleveland (60-44) 1:05 pm EDT</div>

CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- One day after seeing Johan Santana toss a12-strikeout masterpiece against the Cleveland Indians, C.C.Sabathia will aim to return the favor.


Sabathia takes the mound as the Indians face the Minnesota Twinsin the rubber game of a three-game series on Sunday.

Sabathia (13-5, 3.70 ERA) will look to become the first 14-gamewinner in the majors but will have competition as the ChicagoCubs' Carlos Zambrano will also be taking his shot at the markas well Sunday.


Sabathia took a hard-luck 1-0 loss on Tuesday against the BostonRed Sox despite yielding just one run and five hits over sevenframes, striking out seven.


In 22 lifetime starts against the Twins, the lefthander is 8-7with a 3.59 ERA, three complete games and a shutout to hiscredit.


Matt Garza (1-2, 1.33) will look to recover after allowing hisfirst three earned runs of the season in a 7-2 loss against theLos Angeles Angels of Anaheim last Sunday.


The righthander also permitted seven hits and three walks over 51/3 innings against the Angels. Garza lost his only othercareer start against the Indians, surrendering three runs overfive innings last September.
