Cliff Lee, who last year went 5-8 with a 6.29 ERA, shut out the Chicago White Sox Monday to become the first 20 game winner in the Major Leagues this year and the first in Cleveland since Gaylord Perry won 21 games in 1974.

While the Indians have had a modstly terrible season, playing themselves out of the race early on, Lee has continued pounding away, reaching 20 wins in just 27 starts.

He even beat Brandon Webb from Arizona to 20 wins. Webb has been stuck at 19 for two starts now ever since BrushBackPitch.com annointed him the Cy Young Award winner last week. It was his ninth straight win.
