Indians starting pitcher Justin Masterson snapped his three game winless streak Wednesday, with six-plus strong innings against the Angels.
Masterson had to pitch around a rare bout of wildness, as he matched his season-high with five walks in 6 1/3 innings of work. He scattered those five walks along with five hits, limiting the Angels to one run while striking out seven batters.
Masterson got the win as the Indians prevailed, 3-1, improving his record to 13-9 and lowering his ERA to 3.50. Masterson will next take the mound for the Indians on Wednesday at Atlanta, unless the Indians decide to tweak the rotation due to two upcoming days off.
