KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Ryan Switzer Cowboys Jersey . -- Trevor Bauer
was already in a foul mood when he learned he would start the Cleveland Indians
first game of the AL Division Series on Thursday against the Boston Red
Sox.After giving up two runs and three hits in the sixth inning of the Indians
6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, Bauer was told by manager
Terry Francona in the dugout he would start the postseason opener.I told him why
I was taking him out -- because he was going to start Game 1, Francona said. But
he was kind of in the middle of beating up the dugout. So much for that
feel-good moment.Bauer threw 96 pitches, tuning up for the postseason by
striking out nine over six innings of three-run ball.I have a lot of confidence
in my teammates and hopefully they have confidence in me, Bauer said. It should
be fun. Like I said before, they tell me when to pitch and I go out there and
pitch. Game 1, Game 2, Game 3, or whatever, theyre all important.Cy Young Award
candidate Corey Kluber will pitch Game 2 on Friday after throwing a bullpen
session Sunday. Kluber has not pitched since leaving a start Monday with a
quadriceps injury.Hell throw an extended side on Tuesday, which will line him up
for Friday, Francona said. Klub really wanted to pitch Thursday. Weve been
talking about it for three or four days, but I just kind of overruled him.In
fact, I know its the right thing for everybody. I dont think its fair for Kluber
to have him sit for 10 days and have him pitch two games in four days (possibly
in the postseason). He certainly wanted to. I kind of -- again not just me --
but talking to everybody -- I just took it out of his hands. Now he can prepare
for Game 2. He can do that without the anxiety and worry or rushing.Francisco
Lindor hit a two-out two-run double during an eighth-inning rally, helping the
Indians beat Kansas City.All three Indians runs in the eighth were unearned
after second baseman Whit Merrifields error on pinch-hitter Abraham Almontes
grounder, which allowed Rajai Davis to score with one out.Royals rookie
left-hander Matt Strahm (2-2) issued Davis a leadoff walk and Davis stole
second, his AL-leading 43rd steal.Walks killed us, Royals manager Ned Yost said.
Four runs scored off of walks. That got us a little bit.Kevin McCarthy replaced
Strahm and walked the bases loaded before Lindors double over third base.Mike
Clevinger (3-3) won for the AL Central champs by retiring the only two batters
he faced. Cody Allen worked the ninth for his 31st save in 34
opportunities.Tyler Naquin singled home Coco Crisp in the second for the Indians
first run. Lonnie Chisenhall tripled in the third and scored on Edinson Volquezs
wild pitch. Chisenhalls sacrifice fly in the fifth scored Lindor, putting the
Indians up 3-1.Bauer yielded two runs in the sixth on successive doubles by
Kendrys Morales and Paulo Orlando to lead off and Alcides Escobars RBI single.
Merrifields two-out single in the third scored Drew Butera for the first run off
Bauer.Volquez finished the season winless in his final seven starts. He was
charged with three runs, five hits, four walks and a hit batter over five
innings. It could have been Volquezs final Royals start as he is eligible for
free agency after the season.I hope not, Volquez said. You have to wait until
the World Series and see what happens.UNSUAL BACK-TO-BACKCarlos Santana doubled
and tripled in back-to-back games. The last Indian to accomplish that was Ordell
Hale on July 19 and 21, 1936. Santana has tripled in consecutive games for the
first time since Sept. 15-16, 2012 against Detroit.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: RHP
Danny Salazar could throw a simulated game Monday. He has been idle since Sept.
9 with a forearm strain.Royals: All-Star C Salvador Perez was not in the lineup
for the third straight game because of a sore knee and hamstring strain. ... RHP
Dillon Gee, who was treated for two blood clots after pitching Sept. 25,
tweeted, Got the blood clot out of my vein. Another step done, on to the next
one!!UP NEXTIndians: RHP Josh Tomlin will start the season finale on six days of
rest.Royals: RHP Ian Kennedy has failed to complete six innings in four of his
past seven starts.

on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his
home country. MIAMI -- The Philadelphia Phillies wasted a terrific outing for
Jerad Eickhoff with a lackluster night at the plate.Philadelphia managed just
four hits in a 5-0 loss to Tom Koehler and the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, but
Eickhoff tossed seven solid innings.The only thing positive I can say about this
game I thought Eickhoff was outstanding, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. He
hit his spots and pitched like a pitcher should until the end. Im very happy
about that.The 26-year-old Eickhoff (6-12) allowed one run and five hits. He
struck out eight and walked one.I was just being aggressive, he said. Its
amazing what attacking and being aggressive will do for your game.Giancarlo
Stanton and Adeiny Hechavarria each drove in two runs for the Marlins, who were
shut out in their previous two games. Koehler pitched six innings of three-hit
ball.Stantons two-out RBI single in the sixth snapped a 24-inning scoreless
streak for Miami.We needed to get some energy going, Stanton said.The Marlins
broke the game open in the eighth, scoring four runs. Stanton had a ground-rule
RBI double, Hechavarria smacked a two-run single to right, and Miguel Rojas
added an RBI double.Ichiro Suzuki made his first start in five games and went 1
for 5, giving him 2,997 career hits. He also stole a base and scored a run.This
is not a guy thats just treading his way to 3,000, Miami manager Don Mattingly
said. This guy has been helping us big-time all year.Suzuki had an extra-base
hit taken away in his first at-bat when Peter Bourjos made an impressive catch
in right-center. But Suzuki had a leadoff single to left in the eighth.It
livened up the place up a lot when he got that hit so it was definitely a big
help to us, Stanton said.Koehler (8-8) also beat Philadelphia in his last start,
when he allowed three runs, one earned, in eight innings. He is 2-1 with a 1.29
ERA in four starts against the Phillies this season.Just stuck to the same game
plan that me and Jeff (Mathis) had lastt time and was able to execute pitches,
Koehler said.
Chidobe Awuzie Jersey. Koehler struck out
five and walked one. He threw 73 pitches before leaving with minor stiffness in
his pectoral area.We thought no way were taking any chances with where were at
pitching-wise with having to bring some guys up and thought we would be cautious
with any situation at this moment, said Mattingly, who expects Koehler to make
his next start.The Phillies best opportunity to score was in the sixth inning.
They put two on with one out, but Koehler was able to get out of the jam with
two popups.Hes impressed me because Ive seen him in the past and Ive been
unimpressed, Mackanin said, but these last two times, weve helped him out. ...
Swung at too many bad pitches.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: Bourjos (right shoulder)
left in the second inning after crashing into the outfield wall on the catch he
made on Suzuki. Im sore right now, Bourjos said. Ill see how it feels in the
morning. There were no fractures so thats good news. Its just sore and stiff
right now. In a few days out, hopefully its doing better.Marlins: Closer A.J.
Ramos (finger) was not available after jamming his finger in Mondays game. Were
going to be cautious with him, Mattingly said. ... 1B Chris Johnson (left foot)
was a late scratch from the starting lineup, but did make a pinch-hit appearance
in the eighth and was intentionally walked, but did not run the bases. Johnson
fouled a ball off his foot in Saturdays game.UP NEXTPhillies: RHP Zach Eflin
(3-3, 3.40 ERA) will start the series finale Wednesday afternoon. Eflin is
coming off a three-hit shutout at Pittsburgh. The 22-year old rookie is 3-1 with
a 1.80 ERA over his past four starts.Marlins: LHP Adam Conley (6-5, 3.58 ERA)
will take the mound looking to cap his best month of the season. Conley is 2-0
with a 2.35 ERA in four starts in July.
