Pavano scattered eight hits over 6.2 innings while holding Oakland to two runs for his seventh win of the season on Saturday.
Recommendation: Put simply, Pavano has been too hittable at times, but he's flashed signs of turning his career around in his first year with Cleveland. Pavano has a 71:20 K:BB ratio in 99 innings this season, so there's certainly reason to optimistic about the chances of improvement during the second half of the season.
