Bitter Indian pitcher vows to cut loose in starter’s role
Cleveland lefty Bob Owchinko vented his frustration after a doubleheader sweep by Detroit, saying he wants to pitch as a starter and not as a reliever. He noted his 2-6 record with a 5.40 ERA and recalled two Detroit wins this season as ironic yet sweet. Owchinko, 25, opened the year in the rotation but spent most of the season in the bullpen, hoping for a chance to prove himself.

Bretts Quest To Bat .400 Echoes DiMaggio Feat
