#193---MIN @ CLE, 9/17/2008




Cliff Lee was fantastic in 2008, going 22-3 for a .500 team, but this was not one of his best performances. The Indians tied it at two in the fourth with solo shots from Jhonny Peralta and Travis Hafner and took a 4-2 lead in the fifth on Shin-Soo Choo’s two-run double. But Lee yielded hits to four of the first five Twins in the seventh, reknotting the game. Edward Mujica got out of the inning, then the Indians got back-to-back two-out doubles from Peralta and Victor Martinez to reclaim the lead 6-4. Rafael Perez and Jensen Lewis made it hold up.
