Final Score: Cleveland 6 - Seattle 2
Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Cliff Lee threw his second complete game of the season to help the Cleveland Indians to a 6-2 win over the Seattle Mariners to wrap up a three-game set.
Lee (13-2) gave up 11 hits and two runs, but didn't walk any and struck out four for the Indians, who have won six of seven. Kelly Shoppach hit a three- run home run and drove in four in the win.
"I was missing with my fastball over the plate quite a bit today, fortunately I was able to get the curve ball over and the changeup over the plate, locate them a little bit," said Lee. "My fastball, I definitely missed over the plate and they got several hits due to that. At least I was being aggressive and throwing strikes. I'll take that outing every time."
Jose Vidro and Miguel Cairo each went 3-for-4 with an RBI for the Mariners, who have dropped five of their last seven games. Carlos Silva (4-12) had a rough outing as he gave up four runs on four hits in three-plus innings. He left in the fourth with lower back tightness.
The Mariners took the initial lead in the game as Adrian Beltre led off the second with a double and later came home on Vidro's single.
However, Cleveland scored in the next three innings to take the lead.
In the third, Asdrubal Cabrera led off with a double, moved to third on a Grady Sizemore ground out and came home on a sac fly from David Dellucci.
Jhonny Peralta doubled to left to begin the fourth. Shin-Soo Choo followed with an infield single and Shoppach then belted a pitch into the left field stands for a 4-1 lead.
The Indians plated another two runners in the fifth. Sizemore led off with a double and later came home on a Casey Blake single. Later in the inning, Shoppach singled to bring in Blake for a 6-1 advantage.
Lee, meanwhile, kept Seattle from mounting any pressure as he retired 11 straight batters before giving up a two-out single to Willie Bloomquist in the sixth.
Seattle did get a run in the seventh on an RBI triple from Cairo that scored Jose Lopez, who led off with a single, to make it a 6-2 game.
