Tribe Walks Off Twins for Second Straight Game by Jordan Tribe walks off Twins for second straight game By Jordan Bastian MLB.com @MLBastian CLEVELAND -- When Greg Allen walked into the Indians' clubhouse on Thursday morning, his first objective was to locate his locker. This was the rookie center fielder's fifth trip from the Minors to Cleveland this season and his stall has moved multiple times. "It's kind of like a scavenger hunt," Allen said with a laugh after Thursday's 5-4 walk-off win over the Twins at Progressive Field. "I come in, I could be there or there. I think I bounced around to probably two or three lockers this year. If I have a locker, I'm happy. So, I'll take it." Shuttling back and forth between Triple-A Columbus and the Majors can be a mental grind for a young player, but each journey back to the big leagues has helped Allen's comfort level. With comfort comes increased confidence, and that played a critical role for Cleveland in the ninth, when Allen was the catalyst for the decisive rally. Allen -- promoted prior to the game against Minnesota due to center fielder Leonys Martin (undisclosed illness) landing on the 10-day disabled list -- led off with a single against reliever Addison Reed. Then, the fleet-footed outfielder stole second and pounded the dirt in celebration when he beat the throw from Twins catcher Bobby Wilson. Two batters later, Allen crossed the plate on Michael Brantley's walk-off single to right field, igniting the second walk-off party at Progressive Field in as many days. It also marked the first walk-off wins in consecutive games for the American League Central-leading Indians (64-50) since Aug. 18-19, 2016. The Indians went 5-2 on their homestand. "I would hope that's really good for his confidence," Indians manager Terry Francona said of Allen's performance. "He stepped right in and directly helped us win a game with his bat, with his legs, almost with his glove. That's good. That was exciting." The late rally came after ace Corey Kluber walked away with a no-decision after piling up 117 pitches in seven innings. The right-hander blanked the Twins for the first four frames before running into some trouble -- aided by a costly missed catch -- over the next two innings. Kluber allowed one run in the fifth on a sacrifice fly, but then yielded a three-run homer to Jorge Polanco in the sixth to pull the game into a 4-4- deadlock. One play earlier, right fielder Melky Cabrera was unable to reel in a deep fly ball off the bat of Eddie Rosario, setting up Polanco's first home run of the season. "I couldn't care less about if I get a win," Kluber said. "The bottom line is, we won the game." Polanco's blast washed away the impact of the four runs the Indians' lineup produced against Twins right-hander Jose Berrios, who exited after four innings. In the wake of his walk-off home run on Wednesday night, Francisco Lindor delivered a pair of run-scoring hits, giving him five consecutive multihit games. The Tribe shortstop came through with a two-run single in the second and added an RBI double in the fourth. Yonder Alonso initially put the Indians on the board with a solo shot off Berrios in the second. After Lindor took a beating from his teammates in the immediate aftermath of Wednesday's walk-off homer, it was Brantley's turn. Following Brantley's game-winning single to right, Lindor was the first to greet the veteran outfielder -- first with high-fives and then with some friendly fists to the helmet. The mob soon followed. Jason Kipnis arrived and dumped the contents of a Gatorade bottle on Brantley's head. Edwin Encarnacion yanked at the left fielder's jersey. Carlos Carrasco delivered the dousing of baby powder, turning Brantley's hair from black to white. Yan Gomes shook two water bottles at Brantley. "I'll take the celebration as long as we're winning," Brantley said. " It's tough. You get some Gatorade, get some powder, you name it, it's coming at you. It's a win, everybody gets to celebrate. We get to have a happy flight." Brantley knew it was Allen who made the mob scene possible. "He does a phenomenal job," Brantley said. "He's a great kid with a great head on his shoulders. He understands that when he comes up here, we expect him to do his best, and he is doing it day in and day out." MOMENTS THAT MATTERED One-percent Melk: In the sixth inning, Rosario lifted a pitch to deep right field, where Cabrera drifted back toward the wall. Cabrera made a jumping attempt at a catch, but the ball struck his glove and dropped to the warning track. Per Statcast™, the play had a catch probability of 99 percent (66 feet needed to be covered in 6.0 seconds of opportunity time), but Rosario was rewarded with a single. The next batter, Polanco, then drilled a pitch from Kluber to right for a game-tying, three-run home run. "I thought he deserved better," Francona said of Kluber's pitching line. "We got the fly ball. We all thought it was a fly ball [out] and it just carried. Melky didn't get behind it and ended up getting up against the wall. Then, [Kluber] left a cutter middle of the plate to Polanco." Double trouble: Allen nearly made an incredible diving catch in the fifth inning on a fly ball into the left-center gap off the bat of Max Kepler. Per Statcast™, the play had just a 25-percent catch probability, but Allen got a glove on the ball before it skipped away to give Kepler a leadoff double. Two batters later, Kepler scored on a sacrifice fly by Jake Cave. "Looking at the replay, it looks like I may have had a chance on it," Allen said. "Unfortunately, my body kind of stuck on the grass, my hand got rolled under and the ball popped out. … I wasn't able to make the play, but I'm definitely looking forward to having that next opportunity and making sure I come up with it. " SOUND SMART Alonso's solo shot in the second inning gave the first baseman 20 homers on the season and Cleveland an MLB-leading four players with 20- plus long balls on the year. Jose Ramirez (33), Lindor (29) and Encarnacion (25) are the others. The Yankees and Rockies are next on that list with three each. HE SAID IT "It's just a matter of getting in position and feeling comfortable in my mechanics, so I can really put my foot on the gas. Today, I think was a good step forward. As nice as it is with my fastball, my breaking ball improves with it as well. So, I'll take it." --Andrew Miller, on his scoreless ninth inning "I think it really comes down to having trust and confidence. More so, I think the coaching staff having the trust, the confidence in me to give me that freedom to have that green light there and give me that choice. At that point, you let your instincts take over, and I was fortunate to get a decent jump. I got in by a hair." -- Allen, on his ninth-inning steal UP NEXT Rookie right-hander Shane Bieber (6-2, 4.58 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Tribe on Friday, when the White Sox host the Indians in the opener of a three-game set at 8:10 p.m. ET at Guaranteed Rate Field. Bieber is 3-0 with a 3.52 ERA in five outings against the American League Central this year. Chicago will counter with lefty Carlos Rodon (3-3, 2.94).

SMILE" Tribe places Martin (illness) on DL, recalls Allen By Casey Harrison MLB.com CLEVELAND -- The Indians announced Thursday that Leonys Martin was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a "non-baseball condition," making the newly acquired outfielder the latest to miss an extended period of time. The ailment held Martin out of the lineup Wednesday against the Twins, but the eight-year veteran could "potentially" be out longer than 10 days, according to president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti. Antonetti also said because the injury wasn't baseball related, he couldn't share specifics or whether or not Martin is currently with the team. "We're not quite sure yet how long he'll be out," Antonetti said. "It happened really quickly. After the game the other night, he just didn't feel well. … We're now in the process of kind of getting him assessed and working through the best way to get him healthy." Replacing Martin on the 25-man roster is outfielder Greg Allen, who was recalled from Triple-A Columbus.

    Peter Gammons: The Cleveland Indians, best run team in professional sports March 5, 2018 by Peter Gammons 7 Comments PHOENIX—The Cleveland Indians have won 454 games the last five years, 22 more than the runner-up Boston Red Sox. In those years, the Indians spent $414M less in payroll than Boston, which at the start speaks volumes about how well the Indians have been run. Two years ago, they got to the tenth inning of an incredible World Series game 7, in a rain delay. Last October they lost an agonizing 5th game of the ALDS to the Yankees, with Corey Kluber, the best pitcher in the American League hurt. They had a 22 game winning streak that ran until September 15, their +254 run differential was 56 runs better than the next best American League team (Houston), they won 102 games, they led the league in earned run average, their starters were 81-38 and they had four players hit between 29 and 38 homers, including 29 apiece from the left side of their infield, Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez. And they even drew 2.05M (22nd in MLB) to the ballpark formerly known as The Jake, the only time in this five year run they drew more than 1.6M or were higher than 28th in the majors. That is the reality they live with. One could argue that in terms of talent and human player development, the growth of young front office talent (6 current general managers and three club presidents), they are presently the best run organization in the sport, especially given their financial restraints.

  • Press Clips July 24, 2016
    PRESS CLIPS JULY 24, 2016 Colome gives up two homers in ninth as Rays lose to A’s By Marc Topkin, Tampa Bay Times OAKLAND, Calif. — Drew Smyly, finally, gave the Rays a good start. And then Alex Colome, finally, turned in a bad ending. After Smyly pitched well enough for his first win since mid May and Matt Andriese worked two strong innings, Colome made a mess in the ninth as the Rays walked off losers to the A’s for the second straight night, this time 4-3. Colome got off to a bad start, walking Khris Davis. With one out, he allowed a two-run homer on a fat first-pitch fastball to Jake Smolinski. After a second out, he gave up another homer on a fastball to Ryon Healy. “Bad day,’’ Colome said. “I tried to throw like (I do) every day, throw a strike.’’ It was the first save Colome has blown this season, having recorded 21 straight, earning selection to the American League All-Star team along the way. He had allowed only one homer to right-handed batters in 80 plate appearances, then allow two in a three-batter span. “Completely uncharacteristic of him, because he’s been outstanding for us all year,’’ manager Kevin Cash said. “A little bit of a head scratcher as far as you just don’t see him get barreled up like that, and he did.’’ As frustrated as Smyly would get over his extended struggles, as defeated and disinterested as he would look at times on the mound, as clipped as his postgame quotes sounded, Smyly insisted he remained confident he still had the ability to be a successful pitcher.
