Cleveland Indians: Tribe's Winning Streak Runs Out of Gas

7 - 21 - 10     at Minnesota     L, 6 - 0     40 - 55

     Unfortunately for the Indians, all good things must come to an end, and that means the Tribe's six - game winning streak is a thing of the past.  Francisco Liriano took care of that.  His gem combined with an overabundance of offensive support, handed the Tribe their first defeat since July 11th.
     The Twins took complete control of this game when they scored four times in the 4th.  Delmon Young hit a RBI double, Michael Cuddyer contributed a RBI single, and J.J. Hardy broke the Indians' collective backs with his clutch, two - out, two - run double down the left field line.  Once that inning had gone into the books, the game was pretty much over.
     Cleveland had numerous scoring opportunities, but each and every time they threatened, Minnesota's defense turned in a huge rally - killing double play.
     Liriano's seven shutout innings easily allowed him to outpitch Jake Westbrook, who was roughed up for four tallies in six frames.
