Can Buffalo avoid the sweep?
How about Matt Ginter last night in Cleveland? Called up for a spot start, Ginter tossed five scoreless innings on five hits in the Tribe's 7-0 victory over Tampa Bay.
He came out after 65 pitches with a cramp in his hamstring, but looks to be fine. In fact, Ginter was still glowing afterward from the unfamiliar offensive support.
"It always helps when you get four, five or six runs," Ginter told reporters.
Of course, that rarely happened with Buffalo, which saved itself from one ignominious piece of history last night. With three runs, the Bisons avoided being shut out in three straight games for just the second time in franchise history. As Mike helpfully looked up, the Bisons were thrice blanked in May 1986, going down silently in a doubleheader at Iowa before falling, 1-0, at Omaha.

If you are a baseball fan, the only thing better than watching a game is talking about it. And there will be lots of talk here, from the Yankees to the Bisons and around the majors. Reporters Mike Harrington and Amy Moritz provide the background and commentary.
