#462---BAL @ CLE, 4/8/2001

 


CC Sabathia’s major league debut got off to a rocky start as Jeff Conine took him deep for three runs in the first, but he allowed just one hit and one walk, striking out three over the next 5 2/3 innings. He would wind up with a no-decision as he left trailing 3-2 despite solo homers by Ellis Burks and Russell Branyan, but Juan Gonzalez’s two-out, two-run single off Willis Roberts in the seventh got him off the hook and gave the Tribe a 4-3 lead that Paul Shuey and Bob Wickman made stand.
