All Aboard.

Jeremy Sowers pitched his 2nd consecutive complete game shutout friday night scattering 5 hits throughout and now has accounted for 16 scoreless innings.

The Cleveland prospect is looking more impressive with each start he makes. He improves his record to 3-3 on the season with a decieving ERA of 3.98.

In the 6th inning, Shin Soo Choo was given the green light on a 3-0 count and sent a ball into the left centerfield bleachers for the games only run and his first career major league home run.

Earlier in the game Todd Hollandsworth nailed Ichiro Suzuki at home to keep the game scoreless.

While Soo Choo certainly had a nice first game the pessimist in me wont read too much into it. Seattles starting pitcher - Felix Hernandez, and Choo came up in the mariners farm system together and I'm sure Choo had the book on his pitches. either way, its a win and I'll take it.

Andy Marte went 0-3 in his Indians debut.
