BOSTON -- All the talk heading into this ALCS was the starting pitching from the No. 1 and 2 spots in the both club's rotations. It turns out, at least for the Indians, their best starter in this series has Jake Westbrook, who stifled the Red Sox in Game Three.
The veteran worked 6 2/3 innings and allowed just two runs on seven hits, and he's getting the ball again tonight.
"I don't think our approach was bad," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "I thought his approach to us was tremendous. He threw strike one and never threw down the middle. He was really good. I think we have to expect him to be really good again tonight."
If, for some reason, Westbrook isn't as good, Cleveland manager Eric Wedge said everyone in his bullpen is available to pitch, besides Fausto Carmona and Aaron Laffey.
