CLEVELAND, June 26 (UPI) -- Cliff Lee turned in a much-needed outstanding start Thursday in lifting the Cleveland Indians to a 4-1 victory over San Francisco.
The Indians had lost three in a row and six out of eight, but Lee (11-1) remained unbeaten in his last seven starts. He allowed a run on four hits over eight innings, striking out 11 in a game that was delayed by rain at the start for 90 minutes.
Lee has gone at least five innings in every start this year.
Joe Borowski worked the ninth for his sixth save.
Cleveland scored three times in the third, with Jamey Carroll driving in one run with a triple and Jhonny Peralta's double bringing in two more. Carroll singled in the Indians' final run in the fourth.
The loss went to Matt Cain (4-6), who allowed eight hits and four runs in five innings. He had won two of his previous three starts.
Thursday's game concluded San Francisco's first trip ever to Cleveland.
