CLEVELAND – Cliff Lee beat another NL team and Kelly Shoppach hit a three-run homer off Cole Hamels, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 10-1 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night.

Lee (4-4), injured and inconsistent most of this season, improved to 10-1 in interleague play. He won for just the second time in six starts, allowing one run and five hits in seven innings – his longest start since May 8.

Shoppach, batting .552 (16-for-29) in his last eight games, connected in the second inning off Hamels (9-3), the NL’s only nine-game winner. The left-hander was roughed up for six runs and eight hits in five innings – his shortest outing of 2007.

Shoppach added an RBI double in the sixth, Jason Michaels homered in the seventh and Grady Sizemore had two hits, two steals and scored twice as the Indians improved to 8-9 in June.

About the only thing that didn’t go Cleveland’s way was Casey Blake’s hitting streak.

Blake went 0-for-3 and was hit by a pitch. He was on deck when Josh Barfield flied out to end the eighth.

Ryan Howard hit his 15th homer for Philadelphia in the sixth.

Lee began the season on the disabled list, but until recently he hadn’t pitched up to expectations and had heard so from disappointed manager Eric Wedge. The left-hander, though, had little trouble with the Phillies, who came in leading the NL in runs scored.

Lee walked none, struck out five and was backed by several sparkling defensive plays.

Barfield made a diving stop at second base and threw out Chase Utley from his knees in the fourth. In the sixth, right fielder Franklin Gutierrez snagged Aaron Rowand’s liner as he crashed into the padded wall. And in the seventh, Lee threw a one-hopper to shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who fielded it, stepped on second and threw to first for a double play.

Lee’s wildness had him in momentary trouble in the fifth. The Phillies loaded the bases when Lee hit two batters – both on 0-2 pitches – but the left-hander got Shane Victorino to line out to first basemen Victor Martinez.

Shoppach’s third homer was disputed by Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel and center fielder Rowand, who argued that the ball didn’t clear the 19-foot-high wall in center. But Shoppach’s shot appeared to glance off the metal railing before falling back to the field.

Constantly under fire with Phillies fans, Manuel wasn’t sure what kind of reception he’d get in his first visit back to Cleveland, where he managed for 21/2 years.

“They might boo me like they do in Philadelphia,” he joked. “It might carry all the way down here.”

Notes: Indians RHP Jake Westbrook, expected to rejoin the rotation soon, pitched four innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo. He hasn’t pitched in the majors since May 2 because of a strained abdominal muscle. … Browns first-round draft picks, QB Brady Quinn and OT Joe Thomas, threw out ceremonial first pitches. Thomas fired his over C Ryan Garko’s head to the backstop, while Quinn stepped out of one of his shoes on the mound as he strong-armed a fastball. … Rock great Stephen Stills, in town for a concert, sat in a press box-level suite. … The Phillies entered the series with a major league-high 25 outfield assists. At the same point last season, they had 14.
