CLEVELAND -- This must be how it had to be.

What do you get when you cross a two-time reigning American League Cy Young Award winner with the pitcher who is a shoo-in to win it in the National League this year? You get what’s shaping up to be pretty much the best pitching matchup you could ask for in
