CLEVELAND (AP) - Cliff Lee became Cleveland's first 20-game winner in 34 years, pitching a five-hitter for his second career
shutout to lead the Indians to a 5-0 win over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night.
Lee (20-2) is the first Indians pitcher to reach 20 wins since Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry went 21-13 in 1974. The left-hander's
milestone win - his ninth straight victory - came exactly one year to the day that he was recalled from the minor leagues.
With a chance to join Perry as well as Hall of Famers Bob Feller and Bob Lemon in Cleveland's record book as 20-game winners, Lee
shut down the hard-hitting, Central-leading White Sox with ease. He gave up two singles to open the first and then retired 21 in row.
