Using his sinker almost exclusively, Derek Lowe records his first shutout in nearly 7 years as he beats the Twins, 5 – 0, on a six-hitter. He is the first pitcher to throw a shutout without recording a strikeout since Scott Erickson in 2002. Now pitching for the Indians, Lowe led the National League in losses last season, but is now reborn at 6-1.
