Ubaldo Jimenez has suddenly become a reliable starting pitcher.
The lanky right-hander resembled a train wreck in 3 of his 1st 4 outings following the blockbuster trade that shipped him from Colorado to Cleveland. Since then, though, Jimenez has produced 4 consecutive quality starts, including 1 against the White Sox on Sunday afternoon.
Despite issuing 5 walks, Jimenez tossed 6 innings of 2-run baseball to earn the victory. That performance improved his record with the Tribe to 3-2.
Offensively, the Indians supported their hurler admirably. Luis Valbuena and Trevor Crowe each collected 3 hits, 2 runs, and a RBI as the Tribe routed the Sox. 1 of Valbuena's hits was his 1st home run of the season, a solo homer to right-center field.
The Indians tallied 3 times in the 2nd and 3 times in the 8th to salvage a split of the 4-game series in the Windy City.
