Indians’ Westbrook wins 15th
Cleveland ? Jake Westbrook took an unconventional route to his career-high 15th victory, just like the one the Cleveland Indians may follow to the AL playoffs.
In April, Westbrook went 0-5, losing two complete games. By the middle of June, things weren’t much better as the Cleveland right-hander was 2-9.
It was no different for the Indians, who had a 9-14 first month and were going nowhere.
“I guess it’s kind of a not-give-up attitude,” Westbrook said. “We’ve bounced back.”
Westbrook pushed his record over .500 for the first time this season on Wednesday night as Ronnie Belliard’s three-run homer sent the Indians over Oakland, 6-4.
