Sowers, Carmona impressive in win

Jeremy Sowers made his 2nd Major League start monday night against the yankees in Cleveland.

Sowers gave up an early 2 run home run to Jason Giambi but settled down to pitch 6 shutout innings for the tribe. Carmona Faced the meat of the yankees line up and sent them down in order, as well as recording his 3rd strike out of Alex Rodriguez.

Wickman got the save as Cleveland won 5-2.

Carmona was called up in early May with the injury to C.C. Sabathia and appeared rather shaky. Fausto was sent down shortly after C.C. returned then was recalled and placed in the bullpen where he has seemingly found his strength. It will be interesting to see where Indians management decides to place the youngster. He has absolutely flourished in the setup role.

Hollandsworth has been swinging a nice bat lately including 3 home runs. This coming a few weeks after he asked eric wedge for more playing time. 1996 era hollandsworth anyone?
