Pitcher's Duel

C.C. Sabathia and Chien-Ming Wang both pitched absolutely brillant Sunday in the Yankees' 1-0 win against the Tribe. The difference was one pitch to Melky Cabrera, who clobbered a home run to left in the fifth inning.

After the worst three-game stretch since 2002, Sabathia strung together his second consecutive impressive outing. One could attribute some of the success Sabathia had last week against the Royals (six innings, 11 strikeouts) to facing a light-hitting club. But Sabathia had a very similar game Sunday when he controlled the talented Yankee lineup all day. Sabathia's outing is an excellent sign that he's figured out what was wrong during his first three starts.

Cleveland looks to take three of four tomorrow when Aaron Laffey takes the mound.
