<h3>Sabathia, Santana face off as Indians aim for sweep of Twins</h3>

Minnesota (67-65) at Cleveland (74-57) 7:05 pm EDT

CLEVELAND (Ticker) - C.C. Sabathia is glad to see the ClevelandIndians scoring runs, now he needs them to keep it up.

Sabathia takes the mound as the Indians aim for their fifthstraight win and a three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins onWednesday.


Cleveland (74-57), which leads Detroit (71-61) by 3 1/2 games inthe American League Central, got a two-run homer from TravisHafner and a solo homer from Grady Sizemore in a 6-5 win onTuesday.


The Indians have scored five or more runs in three straightgames for the first time since July 23, and Sabathia (14-7, 3.38ERA) hopes that continues. The lefthander has a 2.13 ERA overhis last seven starts, but has just one win because the Indianshave scored just 18 runs for him in those outings. In his lastouting, Sabathia allowed two runs and five hits in eight inningsof a 2-1 loss to Kansas City on Friday.


Sabathia may not see a lot of run support in this one though,since he is matched up against Minnesota's ace, Johan Santana.Santana (14-9, 2.97) is looking for his fourth straight winningdecision. On Friday, the lefthander wasn't very sharp, allowingfour runs and eight hits in seven innings of a 7-4 win overBaltimore.


Minnesota (67-65), which trails Cleveland by 7 1/2 games, needsa solid start out of Santana if it is to avoid being swept herefor the second time this season.
