An unearned run against Aaron Laffey caused by his own throwing error ended a scoreless streak by Cleveland Indians starters at 44 1/3 innings but didn't interrupt their string of dominant outings. Laffey pitched the Indians to a 4-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday, allowing just the unearned run and five hits in seven innings. He struck out six and walked one.

Fantasy Analysis
Laffey lowered his ERA to 1.35 and has gone seven innings in each of his past three starts without giving up an earned run. How a pitcher with that type of run is only starting in 12 percent of CBSSports.com leagues is beyond us. He's available in 80 percent of leagues and that's just not right. Fantasy owners, hurry up and get this guy. He's worth starting in mixed leagues even the way he's been pitching. His next scheduled start will be May 22 at the Chicago White Sox. There's a possibility he could be skipped, but this hot streak makes it unlikely. (Updated 05/15/2008).
