Lee aims for 15th win as Indians host Tigers

Jul 30, 2008 - 10:15 AM Detroit (54-52) at Cleveland (46-59), 7:05 pm EDT

CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- Cliff Lee will attempt to become the first pitcher in the major leagues to reach the 15-win mark when the Cleveland Indians host the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.

Lee (14-2, 2.29 ERA) is also seeking his fourth win in as many starts. The lefthander gave up two runs and six hits with no walks and 10 strikeouts over eight innings during Friday's 5-4 triumph over the Minnesota Twins.

The American League's starter in the All-Star Game, Lee is looking to reach the 15-win plateau for the second time. He won 18 games in 2005 and was a 14-game winner in both 2004 and 2006.

The Tigers, who are coming off an 8-5 victory over the Indians on Tuesday, will send lefthander Nate Robertson (6-8, 5.63) to the hill. He is seeking his first win since June 21.

Brandon Inge homered and drove in three runs in Tuesday's triumph. Miguel Cabrera also homered and Gary Sheffield drove in a pair of runs as Detroit bounced back from Monday night's shutout.

The Indians have lost three of their last four and five of their previous seven.
