Justin Masterson was certainly masterful in game 1 of the traditional doubleheader yesterday. Leading the Indians to their second 1-0 shutout victory of the season. Masterson had his second complete game shutout and struck out nine Yankees.
Trevor Bauer was solid in the second game, but defensive mishaps and a poor outing from the bullpen led to a defeat.
Fun Fact: The Tribe are 10-3 in one-run ballgames, this amount of wins leads the majors.
The Tribe are back on the road tonight and face the Phillies for a quick 2-game set. Let's take a look at the week ahead and the probable pitching match-ups for this series:
Cleveland Indians (21-16) vs Philadelphia Phillies (18-21)
Game 1 -|- May 14th, 7:05PM ET. -|- Johnathan Pettibone (2-0) 3.63 ERA vs Scott Kazmir (2-1) 4.87 ERA
Game 2 -|- May 15th, 1:05PM ET. -|- Cole Hamels (1-5) 4.18 ERA vs Corey Kluber (2-2) 5.64 ERA
The Tribe will then get the day off on Thursday. After that they will host the Seattle Mariners for a four-game weekend set, before hosting the Tigers on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
