Cody Allen tossed two perfect innings of relief and claimed his third win of the season in Sunday's 11-inning victory over the Red Sox.
Allen tossed two perfect innings of relief and claimed his third win of the season in Sunday's 11-inning victory over the Red Sox.
Analysis:
Allen retired three of the six batters he faced via strikeout to boost his K:BB ratio to an impressive 39:12 over 30 innings this season. The superb outing will help Allen tighten his stranglehold on the closer job for the Tribe, though it's unlikely he'll be available for Monday's game against the Angels after working each of the previous three games.
