TORONTO -- A franchise-best 14th straight win sure didnt come easy for the Cleveland Indians. James Reimer Jersey .Carlos Santana homered in the 19th inning off infielder Darwin Barney, and the Indians beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 on Friday.I guess if youre going to set a record, you might as well do it the hard way, Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer said.Cleveland won 13 straight in 1942 and again in 1951.Its the longest winning streak since Atlanta won 14 straight in 2013, and the longest by an American League team since Oakland won 20 in a row in 2002.Santana doubled and scored in the third, as the surging Indians survived a marathon game and disappointed a sellout crowd that came for a Canada Day matinee that lasted 6 hours and 13 minutes, featured 19 pitchers and saw 34 left on base.The 19 innings matched the longest game in Blue Jays history. Toronto played 19 against Detroit in August 2014.Having used seven of their eight relievers, the Indians turned to Bauer, Saturdays scheduled starter, in the 15th. Bauer (7-2) worked five innings for the win.I thought what Trevor did was above and beyond, Indians manager Terry Francona said.Only closer Cody Allen, who was unavailable after working the previous three games, did not pitch for Cleveland.After seven Blue Jays relievers combined to pitch 10 1/3 scoreless innings, Toronto turned to infielder Ryan Goins in the 18th.Jose Ramirez and Lonnie Chisenhall began the inning with singles, but Ramirez was caught in a rundown on Michael Martinezs fielders choice grounder. After intentionally walking Tyler Naquin, Goins escaped the bases-loaded jam by getting Chris Gimenez to ground into a double play.Barney, who started the game at second base, replaced Goins in the 19th. The infielders became the ninth and 10th position players to pitch for Toronto.Thats a weird game, Francona said. Shoot, theyre matching up with infielders.Santana greeted Barney (0-1) with a drive to right-center, his 17th.The Blue Jays loaded the bases with two outs in the 14th, but Joba Chamberlain got reigning AL MVP Josh Donaldson to ground out.Donaldson nearly tied it in the 19th, but his drive to right was caught on the warning track.I thought he hit it out for sure, Bauer said. He hit it and I was like Youve got to be kidding me. Torontos only run came in the sixth, when Justin Smoak snapped an 0-for-18 slump by homering off Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin. It was the eighth of the season for Smoak and the 100th of his career.The Blue Jays lost major league RBI leader Edwin Encarnacion when he was ejected for arguing after being called out on strikes to end the first inning. Manager John Gibbons was also ejected.All three Blue Jays batters were called out on strikes in the first, with Encarnacion livid after being rung up on a 3-2 pitch that looked outside.Encarnacion made contact with home plate umpire Vic Carapazzas left shoulder after being ejected. Gibbons rushed out to break up the argument and was also tossed.Catcher Russell Martin was ejected by Carapazza after striking out to end the 13th. A fuming Martin had to be restrained by bench coach DeMarlo Hale and third-base coach Luis Rivera as he screamed at Carapazza.He just wasnt very good today, Martin said of Carapazza. All the things that everybody in the ballpark were thinking, I didnt say that. I felt like he really didnt have to throw me out.Clevelands Jason Kipnis extended his hitting streak to 13 games with an RBI single off Marcus Stroman in the third.UNEXPECTED EFFORTExpected to start Saturday, Bauer threw what he called a fairly intense bullpen and lifted weights Thursday, then lifted again before Fridays game. Physically, Im exhausted, he said.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: OF Jose Bautista (left big toe) is not expected to return before the All-Star break, Gibbons said. Bautista was injured June 16 at Philadelphia.UP NEXTIndians: Clevelands starter for Saturday is unknown after Bauer was used in relief. Were working through that right now, Francona said afterward. Weve got some things weve got to talk through.Blue Jays: RHP Marco Estrada (5-3, 2.81) has allowed at least one home run in each of his past five starts.Connor Brickley Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Aaron Ekblad Jersey . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. http://www.cheapfloridapanthersjerseys.com/ . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on Dec. TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Shannon Hale hit 3 of 5 from 3-point range and finished with 19 points and Alabama beat Ball State 77-59 on Friday night.I thought his body language was good, Alabama coach Avery Johnson said. ...What more can I say. That Shannon Hale is the one I consistently want to see.After coming off the bench to score 13 in the first half, Hale was inserted into the starting lineup for the second in place Bola Olaniyan. Reserves ArMond Davis and Avery Johnson Jr. combined to score 30 for the Crimson Tide (2-1), with 17 and 13 points, respectively, to help Alabamas bench to match the Cardinals in scoring.Davis made 5-of-7 3-pointers and Johnson Jr. made 3-of-3 while adding six assists and five rebounds.Johnson Jr. said his teammates were instrumental in his success, but he also said breaking from routine and taking a nap before the pre-game meal helped to settle his nerves.I just kind of told myself yesterday, Im not going to wait until like my fifth or my last year to turn it up, Johnson Jr. said. So I thought this was going to be a good opportunity so once I got there I did some different things in my pregame.It was close for much of the first half and scoreless for the first 4-plus minutes. Hales dunk with 15:20 left in the half was the first made field goal and gave Alabama a 4-0 lead. Alabamas offense picked up from there until it cooled off late in the second half when the team failed to make a shot from the fieldd for nearly 7 1/2 minutes. Vincent Trocheck Jersey. Despite those struggles, the Cardinals (1-2) were unable to take advantage. Tayler Persons led Ball State with 15 points. Franko House, who came in averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds, finished with 10 points and seven boards.Johnson credited Wednesdays practice with the success of the bench. With three starters missing that day others had to step up.Shannon and Avery and ArMond they practically are on the same team every practice so they are getting in a good rhythm of knowing each others strengths and weaknesses, Johnson said.BIG PICTUREAlabama: The Crimson Tide bounced back from Tuesdays 77-72 loss to Dayton to avoid falling below .500.Ball State: The Cardinals held their first two opponents to exactly 64 points in regulation, but the team didnt have an answer for Alabamas offense once it got going.NEXT UPAlabama: The Crimson Tide will leave the confines of Coleman Coliseum for the first time this season to face Valparaiso in Las Vegas, Nevada.Ball State: The Cardinals will return home to face Coppin State for the chance to claim the teams first home victory of the season on Monday.STAT OF THE NIGHT: Ball State committed 21 turnovers -- 100 more than the Tide.
