And so ends the streak. Cleveland 15, Toronto 6. The string of scoreless innings by Blue Jay starters reached 11, through five games, before Cory Lidle got rocked for a 4-spot by the Indians. Doug Linton is not sharp, and seems ticketed for Syracuse. Doug Creek gave up a HR to feared slugger Coco Crisp. Lidle was philosophical (hey, it's early):
"I had four pitches that could have been called strikes and weren't, but no excuses," the right-hander said. "I fell behind and had to come in with pitches to guys that I don't even know who they are and are swinging hot bats right now."
Dave Berg started at 3B and had a big day, homering off C.C. Sabathia and scoring three runs. It was a B-team for the Jays, as Stewart, Hinske, Wells, Delgado and Hudson sat one out. Still no sign of Woodward; maybe tomorrow.
