"When I hit it, I wasn't sure I got enough of it for it to get out, but fortunately I did," said Headley. "It's a big win for us. We haven't been swinging the bats great. Part of it is us, but part of it is Cleveland's pitching." Since the All-Star break Headley is hitting .346 (27-for-78), with two homers, eight doubles and seven RBIs.
