CLEVELAND (AP) — ome run and ended Detroit’s with a game-saving defensive play.Naquin made a diving catch in right field to start an incredible double play in the ninth inning Alex Bregman Jersey , and the Indians hung on for a 7-6 win over the Tigers on Friday night.Detroit had already scored a run off closer Brad Hand to cut the lead to one and had a runner on first with nobody out. Naquin raced toward the gap and came up with a backhand grab of Nicholas Castellanos‘ sinking liner.Article continues below ...Naquin then jumped to his feet and threw to first to double off Christin Stewart.“It’s a rush,” Naquin said. “It happened quick. Especially in that atmosphere, it’s a good atmosphere to be able to make that play.”Naquin, who homered in the fifth with Cleveland down 5-2, credited teammates for alerting him that Stewart was rushing back to first.“When I looked up, I could just see all those guys telling me and I just did what they told me,” he said. “That’s part of the teamwork that makes that play happen.”The crowd of 30,717 roared after the play. Miguel Cabrera popped out to end it, giving Hand his 21st save in 21 opportunities. Adam Cimber (3-2) retired two batters on six pitches in the eighth.“I guess you can say that took the wind out of our tires,” said Castellanos, who thought he had kept the rally going and possibly tied the game.Hand feared the worst when Castellanos made contact.“Off the bat I thought it was in the gap,” Hand said. “He kind of came out of nowhere. That’s the tying run on first base and nobody out. To be able to get two out of that play was pretty unbelievable.”Cleveland took a 7-5 lead on a triple by Jason Kipnis — a hit that was initially ruled a home run before the call was overturned — and a sacrifice fly by Jason Bauers.José Ramírez led off the eighth with a bunt single off Joe Jiménez (2-5). Kipnis drove a 3-2 pitch to center, and Jones attempted to make a leaping catch, but the ball bounced back into the field of play. Jones retrieved the ball and the Tigers relayed it to the infield, but second base umpire Adrian Johnson ruled it a home run.Detroit manager Ron Gardenhire challenged, and replays showed the ball hit the yellow line atop the fence. After a review of 2 minutes http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-verlander-jersey , 17 seconds, Ramírez, who was running on the pitch, was awarded home plate and Kipnis was given a triple.Cleveland rallied from a 5-2 deficit after Trevor Bauer was pulled without retiring a batter in the fifth, his shortest outing of the season.Naquin homered to start the fifth, and Jordan Luplow began Cleveland’s tying rally in the sixth with a home run. Roberto Pérez’s RBI single tied the game.Bauer dominated the Tigers on Sunday, allowing four hits in the first complete-game shutout of his career, but the right-hander gave up five runs and 10 hits Friday.Santana hit a two-run homer in the first, but the Tigers struck quickly against Bauer. Brandon Dixon homered in the second and Castellanos tied the game in the third with an RBI double. Gordon Beckham had a run-scoring double in the fourth.Stewart homered to lead off the fifth. The next two hitters reached base and Niko Goodrum’s RBI double ended Bauer’s night after 91 pitches.Detroit starter Matthew Boyd allowed five runs in six innings.TRAINER’S ROOMTigers: SS Jordy Mercer (strained right quadriceps) will begin a rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.Indians: RHP Mike Clevinger (sprained left ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list, but expects to return during a three-game series at Baltimore starting June 28. … RHP Corey Kluber (broken arm) will be examined by doctors next week to determine the next step in his rehabilitation. He was hit by a line drive May 1.DUGOUT VIEWIndians manager Terry Francona understood the importance of Naquin’s play“If that ball gets by him, we probably lose,” he said. “It’s like he willed himself and then he had the presence of mind to come up and make a strong, accurate throw.”Said Gardenhire: “It took one of the better catches you’ll see in a long, long time to stop our rally.”UP NEXTTigers: RHP Spencer Turnbull (3-6, 3.27 ERA) seeks his first career win over the Indians.Indians: RHP Aaron Civale will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus to make his major league debut in place of Clevinger. Civale is 5-0 over seven starts this season, split between the Clippers and Double-A Akron.

He allowed just two other hits and retired the last eight Red Sox he faced.And Hamels used his bat to his benefit, tying the game in the bottom of the third with this solo home run [VIDEO].Your browser does not support HTML5 video.The Cubs plated another run in the third. Kris Bryant got hit by a Rick Porcello pitch — the fourth time he’s been hit this spring — and then Anthony Rizzo blooped a ball behind shortstop that was converged on by three Red Sox fielders, who let it drop among them. Bryant, who had been off with the pitch, never stopped running and scored. Rizzo was credited with a double.Pedro Strop, returning from his hamstring injury, had a 1-2-3 sixth with a pair of strikeouts and a line drive caught by Kyle Schwarber, an eight-pitch inning. Strop showed absolutely no signs of any hamstring trouble and seems ready to go on Thursday.The Red Sox tied the game off Steve Cishek in the seventh. Cishek retired the first hitter he faced and then allowed three straight singles, making the score 2-2. Cishek, who was slowed by illness this month, has not looked good in either of his last two outings. Hopefully http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-verlander-jersey , that’s just temporary, and he too will be ready to go Thursday.David Bote, who came into the game on a double-switch when Cishek was removed for Randy Rosario, hit the game-winner, a long home run to center field [VIDEO] in the last of the seventh that gave the Cubs a 3-2 lead.Your browser does not support HTML5 video.Bote sat on that high fastball and hit it about 430 feet. There’s no center field distance marker at Sloan Park, but it’s about 410, so that ball had to be at least 430.Rosario, who hasn’t looked all that good this spring, had a 1-2-3 eighth with two K’s, and Kyle Ryan, who still has an outside shot at making the Opening Day roster, threw a 1-2-3 ninth for his first spring save.Incidentally, I’m happy to report that Red Sox starter Rick Porcello appears to be all right after taking this Willson Contreras line drive off his head in the second inning:You’ll note Contreras applauding after Porcello got up and stayed in the game. A scary moment, but it appears all is well.Attendance watch: A large contingent of Red Sox fans, maybe a third of the ballpark, produced a Sloan Park record crowd of 16 Tyler Clippard Jersey ,100. That’ll stand as a Cubs and spring training record, but not a Cactus League record, as this was not a Cactus League game. The spring total at Sloan Park for 17 dates is 234,980, or 13,822 per date.Tuesday afternoon, the Cubs wrap spring ball in Arizona with another game against the Red Sox. Kyle Hendricks will start for the Cubs and David Price will go for the Red Sox. Game time Tuesday is 2:05 p.m. CT. There will be an audio webcast on cubs.com and TV coverage will be via the Red Sox channel NESN, which will be available via MLB.tv. All the games Monday were available free on MLB.tv, so I’d expect that to be the case again Tuesday. I’d also expect many of the Cubs regulars to start, but depart after one at-bat and three innings or so, to take the flight to Dallas for the opener Thursday.
