Bradley lights up Lee

Milton Bradley hit his 12th home run of the season tonight, leaving him five shy of red-hot teammate Josh Hamilton. No. 12 came off Indians starter Cliff Lee, who is suddenly falling back to earth after an incredible run to start the year.

Fantasy Impact: Bradley's career high in home runs is 19. He's on pace for more than 30 this year. The strong start to his season, however, comes with a caveat: Bradley's only made it to 500 at bats once before in his career. Take away that season and Bradley's never reached 400 at bats in a single season. He always ends up on the DL.

As for Lee, his ERA is on a steady rise from under one to 2.45. His recent struggles include tonight's debacle of six earned runs in five innings. He still looks to be in line for the win.
