A 120 pitch complete game masterpiece by Cliff Lee with no walks and 11 Ks. He retired the last 9 in order following the lead-of batter in the 7th getting to 2nd with no out, and then being stranded. Lee's best pitching was in that inning to strand that run.

Entirely frustrating for me as an Indians fan to watch Lee and Sabathia dominate in playoff games. There is something reallly wrong with baseball or our owner or both.

There have been 10 games in postseason history with the starting pitcher throwing 10+ Ks and 0 BBs. Mr. Cliff Lee is the owner of 4 of these 10 games. UNREAL how good this guy has been/is in the postseason.

Was at this game. Nice to see another bit of history with the Rangers finally winning a playoff series. Still don't like them, but Cliff Lee is bad ass.

Pretty cool thing the Rangers did to celebrate with series win. Since Hamilton has had struggles in the past with his alcohol and drug addictions, he told the team he shouldn't be near champagne. After the game some clubhouse guys told him to put on his goggles. The team then proceeded to douse him with ginger ale.
