CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians specialized in walk-
off wins last season. It took 34 games, but they finally
got their first walk-off this season on Wednesday night
when Mike Aviles two-out single in the ninth inning
lifted the Indians to a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota
Twins. Clevelands players mobbed Aviles after he crossed
first base. "Its definitely fun, especially with a noon
game (Wednesday)," Aviles said. "Its always good not to
play extra innings and get that big win at the end."
"That was nice," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "We
needed that." The Indians had 11 walk-off victories last
season as they won 92 games and made the playoffs as a
wild-card team. "Were playing at home and when you hit
last you always feel like you have a chance," Francona
said. The short-handed Twins were playing their third
straight game without first baseman Joe Mauer and had
only 11 available position players. Eduardo Escobar,
normally a shortstop, played the entire game in left
field, which cost Minnesota in the ninth. Asdrubal
Cabrera led off the inning with a double against Casey
Fien (3-1). Escobar misjudged the ball and turned the
wrong way as it landed on the warning track. "He just
didnt get to it, Im sure he shied away from the wall,"
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Hes not been out
there a lot and it was going toward the wall over his
head and he got to the warning track and felt that he was
a little too close probably." After Lonnie Chisenhalls
sacrifice bunt, Yan Gomes grounded out. Aviles hit a hard
ground ball on a 1-1 pitch into centre field. John Axford
(1-3), who had allowed game-winning home runs in his
previous two outings, survived a shaky ninth. He retired
the first two hitters, but Danny Santana doubled down the
right-field line. After Brian Dozier walked on a 3-2
pitch, third baseman Carlos Santana, who had to contend
with a fan who wanted the ball, leaned into the stands to
catch Sam Fulds foul popup. "I was yelling from the
mound, but I dont think he heard me," Axford said of the
fan. "I was yelling, dont touch it. " Axford had a bad
week going into the game. Chicagos Dayan Viciedo hit a
three-run homer in the ninth inning Sunday while Escobar
hit a solo homer in the 10th inning Monday, giving
Minnesota a 1-0 win. Axford was unavailable Tuesday after
pitching the three previous games. "I felt good," he
said. "Physically, I feel great. It worked out perfect. I
got a day off and was able to rest up." Danny Salazar,
who hit 100 mph on the Progressive Field radar gun
several times, took a 3-1 lead into the seventh, but
Minnesota tied the game on pinch-hitter Santanas RBI
single and Doziers sacrifice fly. Salazar retired the
first hitter, but Josmil Pinto singled and took third
when Escobar doubled to left-centre. Bryan Shaw relieved
to face Santana, who batted for Pedro Florimon. Shaw had
to hit the deck to avoid Santanas liner up the middle
that scored Pinto and put runners at first and third.
Doziers fly ball scored Escobar. Salazar allowed three
runs and struck out seven in 6 1-3 innings. Ricky Nolasco
gave up three runs with nine strikeouts in six innings.
Michael Brantley had a two-run double in the third and
Gomes hit a leadoff homer in the fifth. Dozier had an RBI
double in the third. Mauer, who has lower back spasms,
played catch and took swings off a batting tee before the
game. Gomes home run atoned for his ninth error of the
season that helped Minnesota score in the third. Florimon
drew a two-out walk, stole second and took third when
Gomes throw skipped into centre field. Dozier followed
with his double. NOTES: Indians OF Michael Bourn (tight
left hamstring) missed his fourth straight game, but said
he could return for the final game of the series
Thursday. ... The Twins selected the contract of RHP Matt
Guerrier from Triple-A Rochester and optioned LHP Logan
Darnell to the same club. ... OF Aaron Hicks (concussion)
is taking live batting practice in Minneapolis and could
come off the 7-day disabled list this weekend. ... Twins
RHP Kevin Correia (1-3) faces RHP Justin Masterson (1-1)
on Thursday.

Orioles wasnt nearly as uplifting as winning the World
Series, it still felt pretty darn good. Felix Doubront
and four relievers combined kept Baltimores potent lineup
in check, and David Ortiz had three of Bostons 12 hits
off Wei-Yin Chen in a 4-3 victory Thursday night.

rehearsing it, Vasquez looked around with a grimacing
stare as he clinched two fists and flexed his muscles.
What do you think of DeMar DeRozans face after he hits a
big shot, he was asked moments earlier.
