Jays' Turnbow Turning Up the Heat

Toronto (AP) - Derrick Turnbow might have been the best steal in the 2005 draft. Selected in the third round, Turnbow leads the league saves (27) and sports a miniscule 1.45 ERA for the Toronto Blue Jays. He has given up just 18 hits and 1 homer in 31 innings pitched and has helped keep Toronto in first place in the very competitive Killebrew Division.
Tribe's Kenny Rogers Having Stellar Season

Cleveland (AP) - A year ago, the Cleveland Indians finished with a dismal 61-101 record - 36 games behind division winner Florida. A year ago, Tribe hurler Kenny Rogers was 7-20 with a 7+ ERA. He gave up a whopping 255 hits in 189 innings pitched.
The 2005 season is a complete turnaround for the Indians and Rogers. Cleveland, leading the league in team batting (.292) and runs scored (542), has posted a 66-33 record. Rogers leads the league in wins with a 15-3 mark. He has a 3.55 ERA with 2 shutouts.
What a difference a year makes. . . .

Sox' Smoltz Off to Fast Start

Boston (AP) - One of the main reasons for the Red Sox' resurgence this season is starter John Smoltz. The "reliever turned starter" is off to a great start: 5-2 with a 2.88 ERA in 8 games. Smoltz, a #1 round draft pick for the Red Sox in 2001, had saved 107 games the prior three seasons. He was turned into a starter for the 2005 seasons and is anchoring a formidable stable of starters: P. Martinez (6-2 2.90), J. Contreras (2-1 3.03), T. Wakefield (3-1 3.77) and D. Lowe (3-2 4.80). Boston has jumped out to a strong 24-15 mark this season and looks to be a playoff contender. . . . .

Roger Clemens went 10 strong innings at Petco Park where the New York Yankees
beat the St. Louis Cardinals in 10 innings by the score of 2 to 1.
The score was a scoreless tie after nine. New York ended up winning it in the
10th inning. David Dejesus started the inning off right when he drew a walk.
Mark Teahen got his chance to keep things going, but he went down on
strikes. Craig Monroe then cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his
4th of the season) giving New York the victory and sending the 56,532
home-town fans home happy. New York managed 7 hits in their victory.
Clemens(2-1) was the winner allowing 1 run for the game. Chad Cordero(0-1) was
the losing pitcher in relief. When questioned, Ron Tidrow remarked, 'It's
been a while since a win felt this good - heck, it's been a while since we
had a win period!'
