BOSTON (AP) â J.A. Happ seemed to be the perfect choice to start Game 1 of the AL Division Series for the New York Yankees in Boston.The veteran left-hander had excellent numbers against the Yankeesâ biggest rivals http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-dave-h...ins-jer sey , and manager Aaron Boone was counting on him to neutralize a Red Sox lineup that produced some of the best offensive statistics in the majors this season.Happ went 1-1 with a 1.99 ERA in four starts versus the Red Sox this year and entered 8-4 with 2.98 ERA against them during his career.That was one reason the Yankees traded for him from Toronto in July and perhaps at least part of the reason why Boone held him back in favor of Luis Severino in the wild-card game Wednesday against Oakland.Instead, Happ put the Yankees in a big hole.He lasted just two-plus innings in Friday nightâs 5-4 loss, giving up five runs and four hits, including a homer. That gave Bostonâs beleaguered bullpen the cushion it needed to stave off New Yorkâs late comeback attempt.âIâm certainly not going to make any excuses,â Happ said. âI just didnât get it done. ⦠I need to be sharper. If I get another opportunity, hopefully I will be.âAfter the third inning, the Yankeesâ bullpen allowed just three hits and kept Boston scoreless the rest of the way.âJ.A. obviously got in a little bit of trouble in that first inning John Kruk Jersey , just not having his real airtight command that he usually has, especially with the fastball,â Boone said. âThe âpen did a great job to allow us back in the game and give us a chance. And we almost caught them.âHappâs troubles started at the outset.He struck out leadoff man Mookie Betts before giving up a single to Andrew Benintendi and a walk to Steve Pearce. J.D. Martinez laced a three-run homer that just cleared the top of the Green Monster in left field.Happ said getting behind 2-0 in the count to Martinez allowed him to jump on a good pitch.âI thought I threw it to the glove and he put a good swing on it,â the pitcher said.Happ retired Boston in order in the second before being removed in the third after Betts led off with a double off the Green Monster, followed by a bunt single from Benintendi. Both scored when reliever Chad Green allowed an RBI single to Steve Pearce and Xander Bogaertsâ sacrifice fly.Happ was frustrated that he wasnât able to provide more innings.âMy execution wasnât as high as itâs been,â he said. âThatâs the reason I always stress trying to get strike one. I wasnât very good at that tonight. The big hit cost me.âYankees first baseman Luke Voit said despite Happâs difficult night, his teammates still have faith in him going forward.âHe made one bad pitch to one of the better hitters in baseball. Itâs frustrating. But he knows heâs going to get another opportunity http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-greg-l...ski-jer sey ,â Voit said. âHe still competes and he still did a good job. But sometimes bad things happen.â TORONTO â There is little suspense left in the American League Central race for the Cleveland Indians. It is just a matter of when they make it official.They can move another step closer to a division title Friday night when they play the Toronto Blue Jays in the second game of a four-game series at the Rogers Centre.The Indians will start right-hander Carlos Carrasco (16-8, 3.52 ERA) while the Blue Jays will send out right-hander Marco Estrada (7-11, 5.43).Article continues below ...The Indians (80-60) reduced their magic number to clinch to seven in the AL Central with a 9-4 win over the Blue Jays (63-77) on Thursday. Any combination of Indians wins or losses by the second-place Minnesota Twins that totals seven or more will clinch a third consecutive division title for Cleveland.âTheyâve had some injury issues, but theyâve got a hell of a team, a real good lineup,â Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. âNow theyâve added to that, of course. And they even brought back old Melky (Cabrera) Mike Schmidt Jersey , whoâs playing pretty well. And theyâve always had good pitching over there. Theyâve had to battle to get a couple of their guys healthy, but youâve got (Corey) Kluber and some other guys. And then their bullpen, they picked up (Andrew) Miller. Theyâve added a few pieces over there. They got as good a shot as anybody.âThe Indians defeated the Blue Jays in five games in the 2016 American League Championship Series.Both teams made some history on Thursday.Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez, who had doubled in his first major-league plate appearance Wednesday when used as a pinch hitter, made his first start in the majors at first base Thursday. He continued his double spree with three of them in the game and had an RBI.Tellez became the first player in the live-ball era (starting in 1920) to have an extra-base hit in each of his first three major-league plate appearances. He also became the first player with extra-base hits in four of his first five plate appearances.Not to be outdone, Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor led off the game with his first of two home runs in the game. It was his seventh career leadoff home run of the season, tying Grady Sizemore for the club record. He has eight multi-homer games in his career and six this season. His six multi-homer games out of the leadoff spot this season are the most by any player in major league history.The Indians had 13 hits Thursday while playing without Michael Brantley Mitch Williams Jersey , who sat out with a bruised left foot. It was the result of fouling a ball off the top of the foot during the third inning of the 3-1 win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.âHe finished off the game OK, but he got on the flight and it got stiff, so weâll give him (Thursday off) to kind of let the trainers do their stuff, but heâll be fine.âFriday will be the second time Carrasco has faced the Blue Jays this season. He did not factor in the decision May 3 at Progressive Field in the first game of the doubleheader, a 13-11 Blue Jays win. He allowed six runs, nine hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings.His previous start at the Rogers Centre was May 9, 2017 http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-dave-cash-jersey , when he pitched seven shutout innings, allowing three hits and striking out seven in Clevelandâs 4-2 win.Carrasco is 3-1 with a 5.60 ERA in seven career outings (six starts) against the Blue Jays. In three games (two starts) at the Rogers Centre, he is 2-0 with a 1.76 ERA. Estrada has struggled recently, partly because of back issues. He is 0-2 with a 15.63 ERA in his past two starts.This will be Estradaâs first start of the season against the Indians. In three career starts against them, he is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA.
