CLEVELAND – Cliff Lee pitched six stellar innings in a warmup for a possible All-Star game start, and the Cleveland Indians defeated Tampa Bay 5-0 on Friday night to extend the Rays’ season-high losing streak to five games.

Jhonny Peralta hit a two-run homer and RBI double off James Shields (7-6) as the Indians beat the Rays in Cleveland for the 11th consecutive time since Sept. 29, 2005.

The Indians entered the four-game series on a 10-game losing streak – their longest in 29 years- but have claimed consecutive wins for the first time since June 26-27.
