Tommie Harris' wife dies
SEATTLE, July 20 (UPI) -- Kelly Shoppach drove in four runs Sunday to key the Cleveland Indians' 6-2 victory at Seattle.
The catcher's three-run homer in the top of the fourth inning gave Cleveland what turned out to be an insurmountable 4-1 lead. He added an RBI single in the fifth.
Casey Blake and David Dellucci had one RBI apiece and, like Shoppach, Grady Sizemore had two hits for the Indians, who have won six of their last seven contests.
Winner Cliff Lee (13-2) hurled a complete game despite giving up the two earned runs and 11 hits. He did not walk a batter and fanned four.
Seattle's Jose Vidro and Miguel Cairo both had three hits and one RBI. Willie Bloomquist added two hits for the Mariners, who have lost five of seven.
Losing pitcher Carlos Silva (4-12) yielded four earned runs and four hits in three-plus innings before leaving because of back stiffness after Shoppach's homer.
