One of the keys has been their revamped bullpen.The addition of left-hander Andrew Miller in a trade deadline deal with the Yankees has paid immediate dividends. In the Indians 3-1 win over the White Sox on Tuesday, Miller pitched the seventh and eighth innings and retired all six batters he faced, on five groundouts and one strikeout. He threw just 16 pitches, 12 of them strikes.In seven appearances since being acquired in that trade with the Yankees, Miller has held opposing batters to a .103 batting average (3-for-29). Its one thing to have his stuff, which is really good, said manager Terry Francona. But he doesnt mess around. He just keeps firing strikes.In a combined 51 appearances with the Indians and Yankees, Miller is 6-1 with a 1.50 ERA. ' ' '
