#69---CLE @ SEA, 7/26/2009

This was the last game that Cliff Lee would pitch for the Indians before being traded to the Phillies. He pitched seven innings and allowed just two runs as Cleveland supported him with four homers. Of course, Lee would wind up in Seattle during the off-season.

#68---CLE @ MIN, 7/6/2008

This was one of the few losses absorbed by Cliff Lee in his 2008 Cy Young season. The Indians led 3-1 going into the bottom of the seventh, but it from there it was slow death by one base advancements: walk, infield single, single, single, walk. The last eleven Cleveland batters were retired in order, enabling the Twins to win 4-3.

#67---CLE @ TOR, 7/8/2007

The Indians won their division in 2007, but this 1-0 loss to the Blue Jays in the final game before the All-Star break was one of the more frustrating games of the season. Josh Towers was perfect through 5 2/3, finally allowing a hit to Josh Barfield. Cleveland finally managed to mount a scoring opportunity in the ninth inning, but they left the bases loaded.

Meanwhile, Paul Byrd had been matching Towers' zeroes, but a one-out double by Reed Johnson and single by Alex Rios allowed Toronto to record the game's only tally in the bottom of the ninth. The game required just over 208 pitches to complete.

#66---KC @ CLE, 9/13/2006

There's nothing particularly notable about this mid-September scoresheet. It was not a very involved scoresheet by my standards, as I didn't bother to track pitches and used the diamond method. Ambiroix Burgos and Andy Cisco make appearances; I think those two will stick in my mind for some time to come despite having less than impressive careers.
