Tied 1-1 after 4 the Tribe gets the go ahead runs on a 2 run single by Travis Hafner thanksMatt-Miller to an error by Gary Sheffield at short.  Rumor has it that the young "Shef of the Future" wants out of Milwaukee and is purposely tanking it.  In any case he cost his team dearly, because neither team scored the rest of the way and the Indians clinched the series.  Cliff Lee gets the win with 5 innings of one run ball.  Matt Miller was the unsung hero getting a 7 out save with a perfect outing.
