That establishes a record for the Cleveland franchise dating back to 1918. "It doesn't mean a thing," Pestano said. "I knew about it. There had been speculation and talk about it. I knew I had tied it last time out, but I try and strike everybody out, so it's not like I was going out there doing something different than I normally do."

News
Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo's batting average continues to rise since he was moved into the top spot in the lineup on May 14. Choo is batting .351 with a .442 OBP, .541 slugging percentage and .982 OPS in nine games as the team's leadoff hitter. But moving to the leadoff spot isn't the reason for his success, Choo said. "The first four or five weeks, I missed a lot of fastballs," Choo said. "In the big leagues, if you miss fastballs, you can't play here. You have to hit a fastball. Now I'm swinging to make contact -- ground ball, fly ball, whatever." The Indians, coincidentally, are 7-2 since Choo moved to the leadoff spot, so manager Manny Acta has no plans to remove him from atop the lineup. "If it ain't broke, why fix it?" Acta said. "He's doing well, we're doing well. It's the best thing for us now. Why try to experiment with someone else?"
