Indians starting pitcher Justin Masterson took a no-hitter into the seventh inning of Sunday's 7-1 victory over the Twins. Masterson (11-7) faced the minimum through six innings, allowing only a hit batter, when Brian Dozier led off the seventh with a broken-bat blooper to center field that dunked in under the glove of a sliding Drew Stubbs for a double.
Masterson finished the seventh before being pulled after 91 pitches for right-hander C.C. Lee. Masterson, selected to his first All-Star team this year, was charged with an earned run on one hit and struck out eight in his first victory since June 30 against the White Sox. He lowered his ERA to 3.60.
Masterson is expected to pitch Saturday against the Rangers, but he could be moved to Friday if Corey Kluber (hip) can't start.
