If it were his last outing of the season, Jeremy Sowers went out in style. The rookie went seven innings and allowed the only two Jays runs to earn his seventh major-league victory. The Tribe doesn’t want to overwork their young star and prefer he finish in the 180 – 190 innings range for the season. Sowers currently sits at 180 2/3 innings.
I’d love to see Sowers continue pitching, but the organization is probably doing the right thing with him. He’s still extremely young and you’d hate to risk injury late in a season that is already a wash anyway. While he is pitching fantastic, Sowers hasn’t thrown this many innings in a season before and it is smart on the Indians’ part to work him up the ladder slowly. The Indians have found themselves quite a gem in Sowers and they must be careful with him.
