TORONTO (AP) â In one productive inning Tony Phillips Jersey , Cleveland catcher Roberto Perez snapped the longest homer drought of his career and boosted his season RBI total by 50 percent.Perez hit his first home run since April 10 and drove in a career-high four, Michael Brantley had a two-run shot and the Indians outslugged the Toronto Blue Jays 9-8 on Saturday, helping Cleveland inch closer to clinching a playoff berth.The Indians dropped their magic number to five for a third straight AL Central title.All of Perezâs RBIs came in Clevelandâs seven-run fifth inning. He began the outburst with a leadoff drive off right-hander Sean Reid-Foley, snapping a 50-game drought. Three batters later, Brantley connected, his 15th. Blue Jays pitchers issued five walks in the inning, including four straight at one stretch, the last of which was a bases-loaded walk to Jason Kipnis. Perez followed with a three-run double.âIt feels good,â Perez said. âIâve been working hard every day, coming in and doing my routine, and itâs paying off. It was just a matter of time. Itâs been a long season. Hopefully I turn it on from now on.âPerez raised his average from .148 to .157 and increased his RBI total from eight to 12.âHe put together one heck of a day,â Indians right-hander Adam Plutko said. âEven behind the dish, he stopped a few balls late in the game. He did a great job today.âBrantley returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games because of a sore left foot and went 2 for 4 with two walks.âWe knew he was OK but itâs always nice to have him,â manager Terry Francona said.Josh Tomlin (1-5) got two outs for the win and Cody Allen http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-walt-...iss-jer sey , Clevelandâs seventh pitcher of the game, pitched around a one-out double in the ninth to earn his 26th save.Randal Grichuk homered twice for the Blue Jays, his fourth career multihomer game, and Rowdy Tellez hit his first career homer. The Blue Jays lost despite outhitting the Indians 18-11.âA little bit of a crazy game,â Francona said.Reid-Foley (1-3) made his fourth career start and allowed six runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings. He walked a season-high five and struck out three.âIf I have to trip on a couple of curbs and learn from it, I still have to keep my head up and have fun,â Reid-Foley said.Justin Shafer relieved and threw 10 consecutive balls. Perezâs bases-clearing double came on Shaferâs 12th pitch.Grichuk connected off Adam Plutko in the third, and he and Tellez chased Plutko by going back-to-back in the fifth. Grichukâs homers were his 20th and 21st.The home run was Tellezâs seventh extra-base hit, the most by any player over his first four games since 1913.âItâs one of those surreal moments that you just dream about,â Tellez said. âIt was pretty cool to do it here in front of the home fans.âPlutko matched his career worst by allowing five runs and gave up a career-high nine hits in 4 2/3 innings.Aledmys Diaz had four hits for Toronto, including three doubles.18 ISNâT ENOUGHThe Blue Jays lost a game in which they had 18 or more hits for the first time since a 10-inning road defeat to the Yankees on Sept. 22, 2007. The Indians won when allowing 18 or more hits for the first time since Aug. 23, 2006.SEVEN UPCleveland has had six seven-run innings this season, including three against Toronto.CRAZY EIGHTTellez is the first Blue Jays player with eight hits in his first four games. Danny Ainge Marcus Semien Jersey , Aaron Hill, Lloyd Moseby and Travis Snider each had seven.TRAINERâS ROOMIndians: Josh Donaldson (left calf) made his second straight start at third base for Double-A Akron and went 1 for 3 in five innings. Donaldson will work out with the Indians in Tampa Bay on Monday and could be activated off the disabled list Tuesday.UP NEXTIndians RHP Mike Clevinger (10-7, 3.17) faces Blue Jays LHP Thomas Pannone (1-1, 4.58) in Sundayâs series finale. Clevinger has won four straight decisions and is unbeaten since July 28 at Detroit. Pannone, a former Indians minor leaguer, will make his third major league start in place of injured RHP Marcus Stroman (blister). ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) â Against one of the best bullpens in baseball, the Los Angeles Angels treated all of the late innings like they were the ninth and the tactic was rewarded when they rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics.Kole Calhoun and Justin Upton hit two-run homers and Albert Pujols reached another milestone as the Angels were forced into comeback mode early on Friday night.With a single in the sixth inning, Pujols recorded his 1,000th career hit with the Angels. He became just the ninth player all-time with at least 1,000 hits in each league after getting 2,073 with the St. Louis Cardinals. Four former Angels are on the list: Dave Winfield, Frank Robinson, Vladimir Guerrero and Orlando Cabrera.Uptonâs two-run shot in the sixth inning off Oakland rookie reliever Lou Trivino proved to be the difference. Trivino (8-2) http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-m...gan-jer sey , who had given up more than one earned run just once in his previous 46 outings, lost a game for the first time since June 5.It might have been the sixth inning, but Upton came to the plate with a ninth-inning mentality as the Aâs not only had their regular stable of relievers available, they also had newly-acquired right-hander Fernando Rodney for the first time.âThey have a strong bullpen with guys that can beat you in many ways,â said Upton, who admitted his plan was to attack the first strike he saw. âYou play to your strengths against those guys. Just compete. Those guys are pitching well this year.âUpton hit a two-run home run for the third consecutive game.The Angels trailed 3-0 just four batters into the game. Starter Felix Pena regained his composure and gave up just two more hits and no runs while pitching into the sixth inning.âI felt like in the first inning I was a little overamped so I went back to the video room to watch some video and I was able to make the adjustments,â said Pena, who had a similar slow start in his last home outing on July 29 but never made it out of the opening inning.Los Angeles improved to 8-1 over its last nine home games.Matt Chapman and Khris Davis each hit home runs in the first inning for the Aâs, who are now 13-6 since the All-Star break. Chapman hit his 16th homer while Davisâ two-run shot was his 33rd.Oakland starter Brett Anderson gave up two runs on four hits with no walks, but was removed after five innings having thrown just 63 pitches. When asked if Aâs starters are growing accustomed to being pulled earlier than usual in favor of a strong bullpen, Anderson offered a simple âno.ââItâs going to take some getting used to,â Anderson said. âIn a tie game in the seventh the last time, you kind of see it. This one was a little early. But weâve lived and died by our bullpen and those arms are tremendous down there so more times than not weâre going to come out with the victory.âCalhoun connected for a two-run drive in the third, his 16th of the season and 11th over his last 25 games. Calhounâs 15 home runs since June 18 lead the American League.Calhoun had just one home run and was batting .145 over 50 games when he went to the 10-day disabled list with a strained right oblique. In the 44 games since he has returned Reggie Jackson Jersey , he has hit 14 of his 15 home runs, with 34 runs scored and 35 RBIs.Jim Johnson (4-2) retired the only batter he faced for the win. The Angels used three more pitchers in the ninth, with Blake Parker getting the final out for his 11th save.â(The bullpen) came in and made pitches and it was a great job,â Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. âAfter that first inning, this game could go south in a hurry when you give up a three-spot. But Felix got his bearings and the bullpen was exceptional.âRodney made his Aâs debut, striking out a batter during a perfect seventh inning. Rodney was acquired Thursday in a trade from the Minnesota Twins. One plan for Rodney is to use him to help ease the heavy workload on Trivino.âWe wonât have to potentially use Lou for more than one inning,â Aâs manager Bob Melvin said. âWeâve used him quite a bit where he has to come in and clean up an inning and go back out for the next inning, which is really tough to do.âRODNEY ARRIVESMelvin says Rodney doesnât have a set role. Instead, Melvin expects to mix and match his late-inning relievers in a stacked Oakland bullpen.âMore than anything, it probably allows us to not overuse a Lou Trivino, to not overuse a Yusmeiro Petit,â Melvin said. âAs much as we use our bullpen on certain days, weâre not afraid to move guys to the back end of the bullpen if a (Blake) Treinen or (Jeurys) Familia needs time off, so it just makes us better.âRodney had 25 saves for the Twins in 46 appearances with a 3.09 ERA http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-matt-...yce-jer sey , but the closer job will still belong to Treinen.VLAD THE HALL OF FAMERThe Angels honored new Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero with an on-field pregame ceremony that pushed back first pitch about a half hour. Guerrero, who made quick introductory speech at Cooperstown last month, was even quicker when he spoke to the crowd in both English and Spanish on Friday.âHis forte is to not go up there and spew accolades about himself, and I think it makes him all the more special,â Scioscia said. âHe was so beloved by his teammates because when he was playing, he was the best player on the planet but . never talking about himself. He was a special talent.âTRAINERâS ROOMAngels: Mike Trout was put on the 10-day disabled list with an inflamed right wrist. Scioscia expects his All-Star center fielder to return on Thursday when his DL stint ends.UP NEXTAâs: RHP Edwin Jackson (3-2, 2.87 ERA) will take the mound Saturday in the middle game of the series, carrying the sixth lowest ERA in the American League since his contract was selected June 25.Angels: RHP Tyler Skaggs (8-7, 3.34) is expected to make his return from the disabled list Saturday, having not pitched since July 31 because of a left adductor strain.
