With a high pitch count, Cliff Lee's approaching the end of his evening, but if the seventh is any indication, he doesn't want to come out. Alex Rodriguez led off with a groundout to second. Robinson Cano followed with a weaker groundout to first. And Marcus Thames finished things off with a swinging strikeout - Lee's 11th strikeout of the game, against just one walk.
