C. C. Sabathia reigned supreme in a pitching battle with Greg Maddux on Sunday, as the Cleveland Indians downed the San Diego Padres 7-3.

Though neither ace was particularly dominant, Sabathia did walk away with the upper hand, giving up just three earned runs in eight innings of work, and striking out 10.

Maddux on the other hand gave up four runs in the first four innings and was yanked after six.

Leading the offense for the Tribe was Grady Sizemore and second-year man Ben Francisco. Both Sizemore and Francisco homered in the game while Francisco drove in three.

Also this afternoon, the struggling Blue Jays dropped another contest to the Chicago Cubs after falling into last place in the American League East.

Former Jay Ted Lilly left the mound with a win in six innings after blanking the struggling Toronto offence.

Though the game then opened up with eight runs coming in the final three innings, an Aramis Ramirez homer and three RBIs from Carlos Lee didn't the left-hander's case.

Elsewhere in the majors, the Boston Red Sox routed the Cincinnati Reds, 9-0 thanks to home runs from Jacoby Ellsbury, Coco Crisp, J.D. Drew and Dustin Pedroia.
