SEATTLE -- Working both sides of the plate and mixing in his changeup, Indians starter Josh Tomlin had little trouble keeping the Seattle Mariners at bay
Saturday night.

Jersey . Tomlin threw the second complete game of his career, throwing a
one-hitter with a career-high 11 strikeouts in Clevelands 5-0 victory over
Seattle . Tomlin (5-5) didnt walk a batter and a leadoff single by Kyle Seager
in the fifth inning was the only blemish on his evening. It was the second
complete game of Tomlins career and the first one-hitter by a Cleveland pitcher
since Billy Traber did it against the Yankees on July 8, 2003. "He commanded so
well," manager Terry Francona said. He was expanding (the strike zone). He
showed in to keep them honest and then hed go away. A little farther. A little
farther, just leading guys to pitches. "That was just a tremendous outing." Its
only the third time since 2002 that a pitcher has recorded a one-hit shutout
with at least 11 strikeouts and no walks. St. Louis Shelby Miller struck out 13
in a 3-0 victory over Colorado on May 10, 2013. San Franciscos Matt Cain equaled
Tomlin with 11 strikeouts in a 5-0 win over Pittsburgh on April 13, 2012. "I
felt good and I knew I was commanding the ball well to both sides of the plate,"
Tomlin said. "I had to have a good changeup today to get them off everything
else." The Indians jumped on Mariners starter Roenis Elias (7-6) for a pair of
runs in the first inning. Asdrubal Cabrera doubled and scored on a single from
Michael Brantley. Brantley advanced to second on the throw home and scored on a
double by Carlos Santana to give the Indians a 2-0 lead. Mike Aviles singled
with one out in the fifth and came around to score on Michael Bourns double. A
balk by Elias moved Bourn to third and Cabreras sacrifice fly scored Bourn to
give the Indians a 4-0 lead. Meanwhile, the Mariners couldnt solve Tomlin. He
retired the first 12 batters he faced with some help from right fielder
Ryan Raburn. He tracked down a deep line drive from Seager with a diving grab on
the warning track in the second inning. "Great catch," Francona said. "Im glad
it doesnt get lost two hours later because that was a really nice play." Seager
singled to lead off the fifth and took second on a wild pitch and advanced to
third when the throw from catcher Yan Gomes sailed into centre field. He was
stranded when Tomlin struck out Michael Saunders to end the inning. "Our at-bats
were not at-bats we want to talk about," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said.
"We want to forget about them. It was one of those nights." Gomes homered off
Elias in the sixth inning to extend Clevelands lead to 5-0. NOTES: Tomlin is 4-1
with a 3.41 ERA in five career starts against Seattle and 3-0 with a 2.12 ERA at
Safeco Field. ... Indians RHP Justin Masterson is on track to start Tuesday
against the Los Angeles Dodgers after pushing his scheduled spot in the rotation
back two days due to a sore knee. ... It was the second time this season that
Seattle had been held to just one hit. Garrett Richards, Joe Smith and
Ernesto Frieri of the Los Angeles Angels combined to one-hit Seattle on April 9.
... LHP TJ House (0-1, 4.88 ERA) will be activated to start Sundays series
finale with Seattle. He will face Mariners ace RHP Felix Hernandez (9-2, 2.24
ERA). ... McClendon said after the game the team is expected to call up RHP
Taijuan Walker from Triple-A Tacoma to start Monday against the Houston Astros.
... The Mariners are 43-38 at the halfway point of their season. Its the first
time the team has been over .500 through 81 games since 2009 (42-39).
