Bullpen, Indians stop Toronto By NOAH TRISTER AP Baseball Writer TORONTO — Before the Cleveland Indians could even consider giving the ball to Andrew Miller, their bullpen faced a daunting task in the very first inning. After Trevor Bauer’s bloody exit, these remark - able relievers had to stitch together almost an entire game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Four outs apiece for Dan Otero and Jeff Manship. Three for Zach McAllister. Five each for winner Bryan Shaw and Cody Allen. After all that, Cleveland finally turned to Miller, who was overpowering again in closing out a 4-2 victory that moved the Indians within one win of their first pennant since 1997. “If anybody has a hic - cup, we probably lose,” manager Terry Francona said Monday night after his team took a 3-0 lead in the AL Championship Series. “They all made pitches against some really good hitters.” Jason Kipnis and Mike Napoli homered for the Indians, unbeaten in six playoff games this year. They can complete their second consecutive series sweep on Tuesday. In the bullpen’s most impressive feat yet this October, six relievers com - bined for 25 outs and 128 pitches while limiting Toronto to two runs and seven hits. Miller got four outs for the save. “The bullpen was unbe - lievable,” Bauer said. “Co- MVP to everybody.” Indians ace Corey Klu - ber is scheduled to start Game 4 on short rest after Bauer’s drone-related fin - ger injury created more upheaval in a rotation that’s been short-handed all postseason.
