CLEVELAND -- Trevor Bauer had one bad sequence.
Nike Air Max 1
Baratas España . Clevelands offence had another bad night. With the days
in their season dwindling quickly and the playoffs still within reach, the
Indians suffered a bad loss that could haunt them for a while. Bauer gave up
four straight two-out hits in Minnesotas four-run fourth inning, and the
last-place Twins dented Clevelands playoff hopes with a 4-3 victory on Tuesday.
The Indians came in five games out of first in the AL Central, and blew a chance
to make up ground in the division or wild-card chase. They are counting on
beating the Twins and Houston Astros over the next two weeks, and cant afford
many losses and certainly not to any of the leagues weakest teams. "You want to
win every game you play, especially because we need to desperately," Indians
manager Terry Francona said. The Twins, using a lineup of young players and a
rookie starter with a 9.38 ERA, won for just the fourth time in 16 games. Arcias
homer off Bauer (5-8) made it 4-2, and the Twins hung on despite doing nothing
else against the right-hander. Bauer gave up just the four hits -- all in a row
with two outs in the fourth -- over eight innings. He walked one and struck out
eight, but it wasnt enough as Clevelands offence went 1 for 10 with runners in
scoring position. The Indians havent scored more than three runs in each of
their past five games. "They scored enough to win the game," said a dejected
Bauer, adding he didnt feel well. "I didnt do my job." Minnesotas bullpen
combined for four innings of one-run ball, with Jared Burton, filling in for
injured closer Glen Perkins, working the ninth for his second save. Bauer
dominated every inning except the fourth. In the first, Bauer walked leadoff
hitter Jordan Schafer but then picked him off first. He then retired 10 straight
before Joe Mauer dropped a double to left. Kennys Vargas followed with an RBI
double and Trevor Plouffes run-scoring single tied it at 2. Vargas slid
awkwardly into home and had barely walked down the dugout steps when Arcia
unloaded on Bauers first pitch, driving it into the seats in right-centre for
his 16th homer. "He had the one four-hitter sequence, where he gave up the bloop
double and then with three straight pitches all the damage was done," Francona
said. "They made it hold up." Minnesota rookie Trevor May (2-4) allowed two runs
in five innings. The right-hander had to overcome pesky "midges," tiny insects
that engulfed him. "It seemed like I got hit in the face by 300 flies," he said.
"I came in and my entire neck was covered." Cleveland wasted a couple scoring
chances before closing to 4-3 in the eighth on Yan Gomes RBI single, but
pinch-hitter Jason Giambi flew out to left to end the threat. The Indians staked
Bauer to a 2-0 lead in the second inning against May, who picked up his first
major league win last week against the White Sox. Carlos Santana singled and
Jason Kipnis, who has struggled all season, doubled before Lonnie Chisenhalls
groundout made it 1-0. Kipnis boldly took third on the play and scored on Gomes
sacrifice fly. The Indians failed to take advantage of Mays two walks to open
the fourth. Cleveland threatened again in the seventh on a pair of two-out
singles, but left-hander Brian Duensing retired Michael Brantley on a routine
fly. EVEN STEVEN With five games left in their season series, the Twins and
Indians are tied 7-7. Cleveland had its four-game winning streak at home over
Minnesota stopped. YANIMAL In 11 games since being activated from the concussion
list, Gomes is batting .302 (13 of 43) with three doubles, a triple, six RBIs
and three runs. TRAINERS ROOM Indians: INF/OF Mike Aviles has made progress
after sustaining a concussion last week. He took part in pregame activities,
except for hitting. Francona said Aviles, who got hurt when he face-planted
trying to make a diving catch in right field, could be playing as early as
Thursday. "He looks much better," Francona said. "Hes getting antsy. Hes pushing
the trainers and those are all good signs. He was kind of cloudy for a couple
days." UP NEXT Clevelands T.J. House (2-3), who held the White Sox to one run in
seven innings last week, will start against Minnesotas Kyle Gibson (11-10) on
Wednesday.

right-hander had success with both Sunday, pitching six solid innings and
helping the offence-starved Mets with an RBI single as New York salvaged a

of victories made a long day for the Braves pretty enjoyable. Ryan Doumit
homered and Tommy La Stella had two doubles and drove in two runs to lead the
Atlanta Braves to a doubleheader sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies with a 5-1
victory in the nightcap Saturday. La Stella hit a three-run triple in Atlantas
10-3 win in the opener. Chris Johnson had three hits with an RBI and
Justin Upton had two hits and drove in a run for the Braves, who have won five
of six. Atlanta finished with 13 hits in the nightcap and had a combined 15 runs
and 20 hits on the day. "Its a long day, definitely a long day and its not
something you look forward to, playing two in one day," Johnson said. "But to
come out with two wins, you cant complain at all." Cameron Rupp had two hits
with a double for the slumping Phillies, who have lost seven of nine.
Philadelphia totalled four runs in the two games and now have scored three runs
or less 41 times, dropping to 7-34 in those contests. The Phillies also fell to
18-26 at hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park, where they entered Saturday batting
.229 as a team. "We had tough going on the offensive side and couldnt get
anything going," Philadelphia manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Its disappointing. We
came in with some momentum, but the last three games it was lack of offence and
not many good plays on defence. We have to do things differently, we have to
score more runs and put the pitching and defence together." Atlanta right-hander
David Hale (3-2) made his first start since being moved to the bullpen on April
30 and allowed one run on four hits with three strikeouts and a walk in five
innings. Anthony Varvaro, Jordan Walden and Gus Schlosser combined to pitch four
scoreless innings of relief. The four pitchers limited Philadelphia to six hits.
"David Hale gave us everything he had," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He
gave us what we wanted and gave us an opportunity." The Phillies called up
Sean OSullivan (0-1) from Triple-A Lehigh Valley for a spot start and the
right-hander lasted 5 2-3 innings, giving up four runs on eight hits with three
strikeouts. OSullivan, who has had stints with the Angels, Royals and Padres,
made his 38th big league career start. "I wouldve liked to have gone deeper in
the game, but I thought I came right after them," OSullivan said. "I tried to
eat as many innings as I could." Uptons RBI single in the first staked Atlanta
to a 1-0 lead. The Phillies tied it in the third on Jimmy Rollins sacrifice fly
before the Braves used a three-run sixth to take the lead for good. OSullivan
retired the first two batters before three straight singles, the last, a
run-scoring base hit to right field by Johnson, ended his night. Left-hander
Mario Hollands relieved OSullivan and surrendered a two-run double to La Stella
that gave the Braves a three-run lead. The Phillies got a chance in the sixth
when a leadoff single by Marlon Byrd and an error by second baseman La Stella on
Ryan Howards grounder put runners on first and second with no outs against
Varvaro.

Howard errors in the fourth inning led to a pair of pivotal, game-tying runs,
Philadelphia couldnt take advantage of Atlantas miscue. John Mayberry Jr. popped
out and Cody Asche and Cesar Hernandez flew out to left. In the opener,
Ervin Santana (6-5) snapped a four-game winless streak, allowing two runs on
seven hits with five strikeouts and one walk in 6 2-3 innings. Santana had lost
his last three starts with a 5.89 ERA in those outings. But he was strong after
the first two innings, retiring nine straight during one stretch and
surrendering just three hits after the second inning. "It was a great effort,"
Gonzalez said. "We were looking for that kind of outing to be able to save the
bullpen." Said Santana, "In the first inning, a couple pitches were up. After
that, I just made a good adjustment and kept the ball down for the most part."
Howard made two costly errors in the fourth inning, resulting in two unearned
runs that allowed the Braves to tie the game at 2. Freddie Freemans hard-hit
grounder went through Howards legs and the error put runners on second and
third. "It was a possible double-play ball and we wouldve been out of the
inning," Sandberg said. "It changed the whole game." The next batter, Upton, hit
a medium grounder to first but reached safely when Howard bobbled and then lost
control of the ball. Andrelton Simmons scored on that error and Freeman, who
went to third on the play, then scored on Jason Heywards groundout to first.
Fans gave a sarcastic cheer when Howard made the putout. "You make an error and
give teams extra opportunities, and sometimes theyll make you pay for it,"
Gonzalez said. "We only got two runs out of those errors, but it got us back in
the game. You have to take advantage of those. If you give opportunities to good
baseball teams, theyre going to get you." Atlanta then went ahead in the sixth
on Uptons two-run double off the wall in left. Roberto Hernandez (3-7) didnt
allow a hit through 3 1-3 innings and ended up giving up just three hits in
seven innings with two strikeouts and three walks. Two of the four runs he
allowed were unearned. NOTES: Evan Gattis was out of the lineup for both games
on Saturday. The Braves catcher left due to back spasms after striking out swing
in the first inning of Fridays game. Christian Bethancourt was called up from
Triple-A Gwinnett before the game. Bethancourt, who arrived at the ballpark an
hour and 15 minutes before the game, hit an infield single in the sixth for his
first major-league hit. To make room for Bethancourt, the Braves sent
right-hander Juan Jaime to Triple-A. ... Philadelphia Flyers goalie Steve Mason,
in town for the NHL draft at the Wells Fargo Center on Friday and Saturday, was
in attendance for the opener on Saturday. ... The teams will conclude their
four-game series at 1:35 Sunday afternoon with Atlanta RHP Aaron Harang (6-6,
3.78) facing Philadelphia RHP David Buchanan (4-3, 4.79).
