Indians pitcher Lewis earns monthly honor
Indians left-hander Scott Lewis has been named American League Rookie of the Month of September for his 4-0 record and 2.63 ERA.
Lewis made his major-league debut Sept. 10 by throwing eight scoreless innings and allowing only three hits in a 7-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. He went on to beat the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins plus the Central Division champion Chicago White Sox.
The Tribe picked Lewis in the third round of the 2004 draft, after he had undergone Tommy John elbow surgery as a sophomore at Ohio State.
Rookies of the month in each league are selected by a vote of the fans plus writers and broadcasters. The fan vote counts 20 percent.
Cleveland Indians Charities received $5,000 from Gillette, which sponsors the award.
