Cliff Lee did the rest, in stifling New York on one run and six hits for complete game gem, which included 10 strikeouts and zero walks. Lee was seemingly in his own world on the mound with a pair of unusual fielding plays that he was almost flippant about.

If you were one of the sports bettors who had Carolina at -7 at home against Buffalo last Sunday, you were robbed.
