Indians' Joba Chamberlain: Strikes out all four batters he faces Sunday

Chamberlain was dominant in relief Sunday, striking out all four batters he faced in a 5-1 loss to the Twins.

Analysis:

After recording just a 2:2 K:BB in seven April innings, Chamberlain seems to have re-discovered his old form in May, punching out 11 batters against only one walk in 5.2 frames. The 30-year-old no longer has the 95 mph fastball he flashed with the Yankees nearly a decade ago, but if he continues to rack up strikeouts, Chamberlain could find himself in higher-leverage situations in a somewhat unsettled Indians bullpen.
