"The whole time I was there, we lost one game," said Duncan, who was sent down on June 8. "That team is so good, it's unfair to the rest of the [International League]. There's no one that will blow you out of the water, they're just overloaded with good baseball players at all positions and they have good pitching.
"It's really a tough job for [manager] Mike Sarbaugh to make sure everyone gets enough at-bats, but he's done an amazing job."
The Clippers have already won 50 games.
Memories: The last the Indians played at AT&T Park was 2005. Former Indian Omar Vizquel, then playing for the Giants, came into the locker room to say hello to some of his old teammates. One of them, reliever Arthur Rhodes, was not pleased to see him.
The two engaged in a yelling match and Vizquel left.
In 2001, when the Indians played Seattle, Vizquel complained to the plate umpire that the glare from Rhodes' diamond earrings was distracting him. Rhodes was so mad when the umpires made him take them out that he was ejected as the benches cleared.
Stat of the day: The Indians bullpen has the best ERA in the AL at 2.99.
