tigers record eleventh sweep of season.

C.C. Sabathia threw another gem against detroit on sunday but was on the losing end of a 1-0 game.

Sabathia went 7 dominant innings racking up 5 strikeouts but mishandled a groundball back to him allowing brandon inge to reach base on an infield single. Inge reached 3rd base after consecutive groundouts and would eventually score on a Craig Monroe base hit.

Cleveland threatened a few times including a bases loaded opportunity in the 7th inning but obviously failed to plate a run. The indians could have easily have won this game and probably should have swept two of the best teams in baseball consecutively but thats just how this season has gone. no breaks, no help.

Indians finish 2-7 on the road trip but honestly played very well. Cleveland comes home to face the angels on tuesday night.
