Halladay, Sabathia set to battle in Cleveland

May 9, 2008 - 7:11 PM Toronto (17-19) at Cleveland (16-18) 7:05 pm EDT

CLEVELAND (Ticker) - Roy Halladay looks to get the Toronto Blue Jays off on the right foot in the opener of a 10-game road swing against the Cleveland Indians on Friday.

Halladay (3-4, 3.00 ERA) was stellar in his last outing Sunday, yielding three runs - one earned - and three hits in over 7 1/3 innings during a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

The 30-year-old righthander owns an impressive 5-0 record with a 3.77 ERA through 10 career appearances - nine starts - against the Indians. He is 1-0 with a 3.44 ERA over three career starts at Progressive Field - formerly known as Jacobs Field.

Cleveland counters with C.C. Sabathia (1-5, 7.51), who continues to struggle after earning his first American League Cy Young Award in 2007.

Most recently, the hard-throwing righthander gave up four runs and 10 hits over 6 1/3 frames during a 4-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.

In nine career starts in the series, Sabathia is 6-3 with a 3.71 ERA. Cleveland has won 12 of the last 13 games with Toronto.
