boast as many victories as their fellow American League divisional leaders, but
that doesn’t mean their confidence as they head for the postseason is
lacking.The Indians have 88 victories heading into Wednesday’s game against the
Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. Although they are well off the pace
for regular-season victories as others in their position after seeing their
three-game winning streak snapped with a 5-4 loss on Tuesday, Cleveland may be
well-suited for a lengthy postseason run just the same.“Our record, we might not
have as many wins as what we had in previous years,” Indians general manager
Mike Chernoff said, according the team’s official website. “But, it does feel
like over the past several weeks
http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-chase-headley-jersey , we’ve seen a lot of things come together in ways that we hadn’t seen for the
majority of the season. So, we do feel like we’re sort of on an upward
trajectory heading into the postseason.”Article continues below ...After
surrendering a ninth-inning lead in Tuesday’s loss, the Indians will attempt to
bounce back Wednesday behind Shane Bieber (10-5, 4.80 ERA. Bieber has dropped

starting rotation on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals but was bumped up a
day to give Josh Tomlin another day of rest after he was needed in a relief
appearance on Sunday.Bieber is 0-0 in one career start against the White Sox
after he threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings while striking out eight earlier this
season.The White Sox ended their three-game losing streak on Tuesday when Daniel
Palka delivered a one-out, two run single that provided Chicago with a dramatic
victory. After struggling to score runs, Chicago came up with three runs in the
bottom of the ninth to bring an end to Cleveland’s winning streak. Yet as much
excitement as victories like Tuesday’s generates, the White Sox continue to
build for the future. On Tuesday

his right knee next week.Garcia said that the procedure was “nothing major,”
according to the Chicago Tribune. Manager Rick Renteria said the surgery just
involved “cleaning (the knee) up” and that the surgery was not being done to
make any major repairs.Garcia, who hit his career-best 19th home run in
Tuesday’s victory, has been on the disabled list twice this season — both times

knee,” Garcia said, according to the Tribune. “I’ve been feeling

Indians, Fry is 1-0 with a 4.09 ERA.
