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.
