In his first outing, Justin Masterson couldn't strike out anyone. But on Saturday night, he had Seattle batters flailing at pitches. Either way is working just fine. Masterson and the Cleveland Indians are on an early tear. Masterson took a shutout into the seventh inning, striking out nine, and the Indians benefited from one major defensive lapse by Seattle in a 2-1 win over the Mariners. The Indians won their sixth straight and stand alone in first place in the AL Central for the first time since May 2008. "It's going to come and go," Masterson said of his strikeouts. "Like anyone, you're going to get to a point where you say, 'I'm going to strike this guy out' and other times guys are putting it in play early, so I'll take that. I feel like with the stuff I have, I have the ability to go both ways at times." Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=310409112
