    Asdrubal Cabrera has never been considered a power hitter. His career high for a season is six home runs.

    Barely a week into the 2011 campaign, Cabrera already has three homers and the surging Indians are the surprise leaders of the AL Central.

    Cabrera welcomed Erik Bedard back to Safeco Field with a solo shot and the Indians beat the Seattle Mariners 6-4 on Sunday for their seventh straight victory.

    Cleveland completed an impressive three-game sweep of the struggling Mariners and is off to a 7-2 start for the first time since beginning the 2002 season 8-1.

    "We're playing good baseball right now," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "I know it's early. We continue to get good pitching and play good defense and good things are going to happen."
