land teammates -- they all wanted to celebrate a game-winning inside-the-park home run in the ninth inning.Even by walk-off stan Antworten

CLEVELAND -- Once his long drive caromed into no mans land, Tyler Naquin kept going. And going. And going.Naquin sprinted around the bases, stumbled toward home plate and scored with a head-first dive.Then he was mobbed by his Cleveland teammates -- they all wanted to celebrate a game-winning inside-the-park home run in the ninth inning.Even by walk-off standards, the Indians 3-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night was a stunner.That was a pretty cool moment, Naquin said. I almost fell down there for a second. I wanted to just keep running.It was the first game-ending inside-the-park homer since Angel Pagan did it for San Francisco against Colorado in 2013, according to baseballreference.com.Naquins mad dash capped a two-run rally. Toronto took a 2-1 lead into the ninth in a matchup of AL division leaders.Closer Roberto Osuna (2-2) retired the first batter, but Jose Ramirez tied it with a home run.Naquin followed with a fly that hit the top of the right-field wall, above the leap of Michael Saunders. The ball bounced away at an angle and center fielder Melvin Upton Jr. gave chase as Naquin rounded second.Upton finally retrieved the ball, but fell down as third base coach Mike Sarbaugh waved Naquin home. Upton flung it toward the infield, and Naquin reached the plate way ahead of second baseman Devon Travis relay.I was just thinking after I hit it, I took a couple steps out of the box and just pictured it kicking off the wall, Naquin said. I thought, `I have a chance to score if it kicks far enough. And sure enough, it did.On Thursday night, the rookie lofted a sacrifice fly as a pinch-hitter in the ninth to lift Cleveland over the White Sox.Id actually like to win by five or 10 so we dont have to do that, Naquin said.This was only the second time -- and first since 1916 by Braggo Roth -- the Indians ended a win with an inside-the-park home run, ESPN Stats and Info said.Jeff Manship (2-1) pitched the ninth. Osuna blew his third save in 30 chances.Trevor Bauer struck out a career-high 13 in eight innings.Russell Martin hit a two-run homer in the first for Toronto.The win increased Clevelands lead in the AL Central over Detroit to seven games. Torontos lead over Boston in the AL East was cut to a half-game.The crowd of 30,665 featured several thousand Blue Jays fans who matched cheers and chants with Indians fans throughout the game.It was a heck of a game, both sides, Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. Good pitching, good crowd excitement, good baseball.Blue Jays manager John Gibbons obviously felt differently about the shocking ending.That was tough, he said. We were sitting pretty good. That went from feeling pretty good to feeling rotten pretty quick.Mike Napoli hit an RBI single in the sixth for Cleveland.Toronto played without third baseman Josh Donaldson (jammed right thumb) and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (sore calf).THE CHAMP IS HEREUntil the wild finish, the biggest cheer of the night went to LeBron James, who watched the game from a suite. James led the Cavaliers past Golden State in the NBA Finals, Clevelands first championship in 52 years.ROSTER NEWSThe Indians called up RHP Shawn Armstrong from Triple-A Columbus and optioned left-hander Kyle Crockett to the same club. The Blue Jays optioned outfielder Darrell Ceciliani to Triple-A Buffalo.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: Manager John Gibbons expects Donaldson and Tulowitzki to be available Saturday.UP NEXTBlue Jays: RHP Aaron Sanchez will start for the first time since Aug. 13 as the team attempts to limit his innings.Indians: RHP Josh Tomlin returns from the family medical emergency list.

Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State. Julius Randle overcame a scoreless first half and added his sixth double-double in as many games with 14 points and 10 rebounds. MINNEAPOLIS -- The Cleveland Indians were one of baseballs biggest surprises in the first half of the season. After they limped into the All-Star break, Mike Napoli made sure they got the second half started on the right foot.Napoli had three hits, including his 19th home run, Carlos Carrasco pitched into the seventh inning and the Indians beat the Minnesota Twins 5-2 on Friday night.The Indians had lost four of their last five games before the break but they maintained their 6 1/2-game lead over Detroit in the AL Central.They used the four days off to recuperate from an intense first half that included 14-game winning streak from June 17 to July 1, but manager Terry Francona said he was guarding against the vacation mentality carrying over into the start of the second half.You kind of walk the fine line because you want them to have the rest, and you hope the rust doesnt get in the way, Francona said. I thought the guys did a good job of shaking it off.Napoli scored three runs, one on his solo shot into the bullpen in left-center in the eighth inning that stretched Clevelands lead to three runs.Everybody looked fresh, Napoli said. Its going to be a grind down the stretch, but for us to be able to get some rest, its nice.Carrasco (6-3) allowed two runs on four hits while striking out three in 6 2/3 innings. He won for the fourth time in his last five starts. Cody Allen pitched a perfect ninth for his 19th save in 21 chances.Twins starter Ervin Santana (3-8) was coming off a shutout in his last start. But the Indians chased him with three straight singles in the sixth inning, when they took a 4-2 lead. Jose Ramirez lined a pitch that kicked off the heel of Santanas glove hand and into center field to put Cleveland ahead 3-2, ending Santanas night.If it finds the glove instead of the wrist, you might get a double play and get off the field, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. But it made its way to center field.Brian Dozier drove in both of the Twins runs. He had a sacrifice fly in the first inning and a home run off an inside fastball in the fourth.Its the only one I saw, Dozier said of the fastball from Carrasco. He made some mistakes and I got that one. He made some more and we didnt exeecute on those times.ddddddddddddA NICE SURPRISERamirez continued to provide unexpected offense for the Indians with two more run-scoring hits on Friday. Hes driven in six runs in his last three games and is hitting .313 in July. The 23-year-old utility player has held down third base and the fifth spot in the batting order of late as the Indians wait for Michael Brantley to return from a shoulder injury.He sprays the ball all over the field. Thats why were hitting him where were hitting him, because regardless of whos pitching or what type, he puts the ball in play, Francona said. With (Brantley) gone, hes been hitting in the middle of the order for us. I think that speaks volumes.DONT RUN ON BUXTONNapoli led off the second inning with a drive to deep left-center field that looked like a sure extra-base hit. But Twins center fielder Byron Buxton played the ball on the first hop off the fence, spun and fired a strike to second baseman Dozier, who slapped the tag on a sliding Napoli.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: Brantley continued his rehab assignment, moving up to Double-A Akron for Friday nights game. Francona said he expected Brantley to play six or seven innings and that he was close to being able to play in back-to-back games.Twins: Buxton (knee) returned to the lineup after missing most of the last three games before the break. He had not played since slamming his leg into the center field fence trying to make a catch in the first inning of the Twins July 8 game against the Rangers.UP NEXTIndians: RHP Trevor Bauer (7-3) had won three consecutive starts before his last outing, a 5-4 loss to the Yankees on July 7. He gave up a season-high five earned runs in 5 2/3 innings. That raised his ERA from 3.02 to 3.30, which was still good for ninth-best in the AL at the break.Twins: Minnesota has scored 48 runs in the last four games started by RHP Tyler Duffey (5-6). The Twins have won all four, and Duffey has earned the victory in the last three. In his most recent outing on July 7 at Texas, Duffey threw six scoreless innings and struck out a season-high nine batters.
