Cleveland Indians: Carmona's Gem Snaps Skid

9 - 10 - 10     vs. Minnesota     W, 2 - 0     58 - 83

     The drought is finally over.
     Fausto Carmona, who had not won a game since August 2, got back in the win column with a brilliant, complete - game in which he only allowed three hits.  Carmona had his nasty sinker working for him, and the result was utter domination of the Minnesota Twins.
     Carmona's mound opponent, Carl Pavano, was also superb as he went the distance, as well.  However, Pavano surrendered a couple of runs, and, in the end, that was the difference.
     The Indians' scoring came from a Matt LaPorta solo home run in the 2nd inning, and an Asdrubal Cabrera sacrifice fly in the 5th.
     Due to the fact that only two runs were scored and only two pitchers were used, the game lasted a mere one hour and fifty - seven minutes.
