RELIEVERS: CLE, DET, HOU, MIA, MIL and NYM

This week, the pens under review are Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Miami, Milwaukee, and then a little bit about the Mets. Starting with the Indians...

==================  == == === ==== ==== ==== ====  ====  === ========= ====
C.Allen              8  0  0  13.0 12.5  6.0  2.8  3.09  184    9/14   1.46
A.Miller (L)         0  2  1   3.0...
