Cleveland Indians surrender lead in ninth inning
Sunday, May 18, 2008 Paul Hoynes
Plain Dealer Reporter
Cincinnati -- In the quiet Indians locker room, as re porters picked over the bones of the In dians' latest closer, Joe Borowski never looked so good.
It was Borowski's strained right triceps that started the chain reaction that led to Adam Dunn hitting a three-run, game-winning homer Saturday off Masa Kobayashi in the ninth inning in the Reds' 4-2 victory over the Indians at Great American Ballpark.
Borowski is scheduled to make a rehabilitation appearance Monday at Class A Lake County. If that goes well, he'll pitch Wednesday for Class AA Akron. Should that appearance be trouble free, look for Borowski to be back as the Indians' closer late this week.

Cleveland Indians' Michael Aubrey finally gets the call
Sunday, May 18, 2008Paul Hoynes
Plain Dealer Reporter
Cincinnati- Kristie Aubrey never knew her husband was so popular. She found that out after sending a text message to family and friends telling them that he was finally going to the big leagues.
Michael Aubrey was told Thursday night after his game with Class AAA Buffalo that he'd replace Jeremy Sowers on the Tribe's roster Saturday in Cincinnati. Sowers started against the Reds on Friday night.
"I told my wife and she sent out a little text message," Aubrey, 26, said. "Then I told the guys in the locker room. In about an hour, I got overwhelmed with phone calls and texts. I can see why guys change their phone numbers."

Cleveland bullpen Dunn in again
[FONT=Verdana,Times New Roman,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Slugger slams 9th-inning homer off Kobayashi; Carmona's effort wasted[/FONT]
Sunday, May 18, 2008
By JOSH WEIR
REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
CINCINNATI Judging by the fact that he almost hit a ball into the Ohio River on Saturday, Adam Dunn can switch from bunt mode to bash mode rather quickly.
Two pitches after failing to get a sacrifice bunt down, Dunn crushed a three-run walk-off home run off Cleveland reliever Masa Kobayashi to give the Reds a 4-2 interleague win in front of 42,023 fans ? the second sellout of the season at Great American Ball Park and the 11th largest crowd in the stadium's six-year history.
The Indians (22-21) have lost two straight at Cincinnati, both in the late innings, as the Indians' back of the bullpen continues to take on water. A great performance by Fausto Carmona was wasted Saturday, as was a 3-for-4 day by Ben Francisco.
"Benny, along with Fausto, gave us a chance to win the game," Cleveland Manager Eric Wedge said. "We just weren't able to finish it off today."

Kevin Warren is an ass
I guess I don't understand how dumb Wedge really can be after all these years in baseball. Before the game, he says he is going to use the bullpen by committee so in the ninth inning he has two left-handed hitters coming up and he has a left-hander in the bullpen. I don't care how many times Breslow has been use this year I would have rather seen him come in and lose again rather than the way it was lost by MK softballing a pitch to someone like Dunn. I don't think MK must as seen any guys over in Japan as big as AD. If nothing more, I would have brought him after MK put the first two batters on base.
Now I am wishing for Joe Blow to come back as soon as possible. He certainly isn't any worse than what we are throwing out there now to "close" games for us.

I don't understand how a guy can swing the bat as hard as he does but yet he cannot play one or two innings at first base. When our minor league manager pulled his double switch last night why didn't he put in Hafner and not Aubrey who was just brought up or did Hafner need a rest because he ran the bases the night before. Get rid of him too!NFBuck;1164827; said:Welcome back Pronk!

Cliff Lee proves human as Reds sweep Indians Tribe pitcher's ERA climbs to 1.37 after he gives up six runs, first loss
By Sheldon Ocker
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Monday, May 19, 2008
CINCINNATI: The good news is that the Indians didn't have to use any of their four closers on Sunday. But that's not much consolation after a 6-4 loss that gave the Cincinnati Reds a sweep of the three-game series at Great American Ball Park.
Not even Cliff Lee could save the Tribe. Lee came into the game with the lowest ERA in the big leagues (0.67). By the time he left, after 52/3 innings, his ERA had risen to 1.37, and he had suffered his first loss against six wins.
Giving up six runs (five earned) happens to all starters, at least occasionally, but because Lee allowed a total of four earned runs in his first seven starts, the outing Sunday was a shock to the system of almost anyone who has watched him pitch this year.
''I don't feel I was locating the ball as well as I had in the past few starts,'' Lee said. ''I also made a few bad pitches. We lost, so, obviously, I didn't do my job well enough.''

Cleveland Indians Cliff Lee's hot streak ends against Cincinnati Reds
Monday, May 19, 2008Paul Hoynes
Plain Dealer Reporter
Cincinnati- Cliff Lee figured it would happen sometime this season. When it did, it still didn't feel good.
Lee, after seven sparkling starts, lost Sunday for the first time this season and he did not look good doing it. The Reds, on the way to a 6-4 victory and a first-ever sweep of the Indians, scored more runs against Lee than he'd allowed in his first seven starts com- bined.
"I made a couple of bad pitches, and we lost," said Lee, succinct in defeat and victory.
