So who’s the hottest team in baseball? The Indians, of course. Jake Westbrook limited the Diamondbacks to two runs in eight innings while Bob Wickman notched his 20th save in Sunday’s 3-2 win. The Tribe now has ninth straight, the longest current streak in all of baseball, and now find themselves just one game out of the Wild Card at 37-30. Of course, they’re still 8.5 behind the White Sox, who won again Sunday night, and this week’s series against the Red Sox will be a big test, but this is the kind of baseball we all expected when the season began. The bats are hot, the starters are lights-out virtually every night and the ‘pen is one of the best in baseball. Man, does this feel good or what?
