CLEVELAND (AP) — he race for the AL Cy Young Award.Snell moved into a tie for the major league lead with his 17th win as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Cleveland Indians 5-3 on Saturday night.Snell (17-5) is tied with New York’s Luis Severino and Cleveland’s Corey Kluber — two other top candidates for the award — for the most wins in the majors. Snell is 5-0 in his last six starts and his 2.02 ERA is second in the AL behind Chris Sale’s 1.97.Snell allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings Jack Morris Jersey , giving up both in the second with one being unearned thanks to a throwing error by third baseman Matt Duffy. The left-hander worked around trouble early but retired nine of the last 10 hitters he faced and struck out the side in the sixth.“We always talk about what his best start is, this and that,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “You can argue that was his best start because he didn’t have anything. He didn’t cruise by any means. He had to work. But that was a pretty telling performance from Blake and how far he’s come.”Snell said his stuff improved as the night progressed.“I started slow, frustrated about that,” Snell said. “But I’m very happy with how I came back, fastball started to jump there towards the end, slider, everything started to work a lot better.”The Indians had nine baserunners in the first four innings, including stealing three bases in the first.“We had some really good at-bats early just to get what we did,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “His stuff is phenomenal. Velocity, breaking ball, changeup. He’s got the whole package.”Tampa Bay scored four times in the sixth off Shane Bieber (8-3). Matt Duffy tied the game with a two-run double. Tommy Pham’s RBI double put the Rays ahead before Kevin Kiermaier added a run-scoring single.Brandon Lowe homered off the foul pole in right field to in the ninth.Jason Kipnis, whose playing time will decrease after the Indians acquired third baseman Josh Donaldson from Toronto on Friday, started the ninth with a pinch-hit home run off Chaz Roe.Roe retired the next two hitters and Adam Kolarek got pinch-hitter Yonder Alonso for his second save. The Rays have won 10 of 12.Duffy’s two-base error on Brandon Guyer’s ground ball started Cleveland’s rally in the second. Melky Cabrera and Yan Gomes drove in runs with back-to-back doubles. Snell retired the next two hitters before Michael Brantley singled to center. Gomes was waved home, but was an easy out at the plate on Kiermaier’s throw.“It was big Michael Fulmer Jersey ,” Cash said. “Not that we can’t come back from three runs, but there’s a big difference between three and two runs.”Cleveland’s lead quickly disappeared in the sixth. Lowe singled and took third on Joey Wendle’s double. Duffy’s double down the right field line tied the game. Pham’s one-out double to left-center gave Tampa Bay the lead and finished Bieber.Kiermaier’s single off Tyler Olson scored Pham, with the run charged to Bieber. The rookie right-hander allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings.TRADE FALLOUTDonaldson arrived at the ballpark shortly before game time after having flight issues that delayed him. The 2015 AL MVP was given a loud ovation and waved to the crowd when he was shown from the dugout on the scoreboard in the seventh inning.Donaldson has been sidelined for three months by a strained calf and it’s not clear when he’ll make his Indians debut. Donaldson will play third base with All-Star Jose Ramirez moving to second.Francona said Kipnis will be affected more than any player on Cleveland’s roster by Donaldson’s addition.“Nobody will ever root against him, I can promise you that,” Francona said. “Getting Donaldson is good for us, and I don’t know where Kip ends up, but I guarantee every time he hits I’ll be pulling for him like I always do. He can help us. We don’t think otherwise.”TAKING A SHOTIndians left-hander Oliver Perez remained in the game after being hit on his pitching hand by Lowe’s comebacker in the sixth. Perez threw a couple of warmup pitches and joked with his teammates before play continued.TRAINER’S ROOMRays: Kiermaier was removed the game in the seventh inning after his back tightened up when he threw Gomes out at the plate. He expects to play in Sunday’s series finale.Indians: Francona said additional tests on the stress fracture in Trevor Bauer’s right leg showed minimal improvement, a diagnosis the team was expecting. Bauer was hit by a line drive on Aug. 11. The team is still hopeful he’ll return before the regular season ends.UP NEXTIndians RHP Carlos Carrasco (16-7, 3.38 ERA), who is 8-2 in his last 11 starts, will start the series finale on Sunday. RHP Diego Castillo (3-2, 3.73) will start for the Rays. SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) — In the new world of the Baltimore Orioles where youth and inexperience are the rule, there are two veteran pitchers hoping to prove they still have some skills.Last spring training, the Orioles added two free agent pitchers Leonys Martin Jersey , Andrew Cashner and Alex Cobb, and both had substandard years.Cashner, who signed a two-year $16 million contract, was 4-15 with a 5.29 ERA. Cobb, who late in spring training agreed to a four-year, $57 million deal, had the worst season of his career, going 5-15 with a 4.90 ERA.“I don’t want to touch too much on what we had going on last year,” Cobb said. “I felt like there were a lot of times where we were going into competition without a full arsenal, far behind the competition we were facing, and that’s frustrating.”Baltimore was derided in the past because they lagged far behind what had become industry standard in the information age.“It’s tough to go in there with a lot of confidence because you know how much more information is being given to the other side because I’ve been on the other side,” Cobb said. “I feel like it’s an even playing field now.”Under new general manager Mike Elias and new manager Brandon Hyde, the Orioles are not only more analytically oriented, but they’re a lot looser. Even better for the 32-year-old Cashner, they added pitching coach Doug Brocail to the staff last month.In 2017 http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey , Brocail was the Texas Rangers’ pitching coach, and Cashner had one of his best seasons under him with an 11-11 record and 3.40 ERA. Brocail is a hard-nosed coach, but he and Hyde, who was the Chicago Cubs’ bench coach last year, have brought a different tone to camp, adopting some of Joe Maddon’s practices.As the pitchers took the field for their first stretch on Feb. 13, suddenly loud music was blaring, a sharp difference from former manager Buck Showalter’s tenure.“It’s kind of a lot more fun,” Cashner said. “I think it’s kind of just trying to let everybody be themselves. It’s not so much worrying about certain things as it is showing up and being the best ballplayer you can be. That’s kind of the style (Hyde) had under Joe Maddon.”Last season, Cashner missed time with a back strain, a neck strain and a knee injury that ended his season by mid-September. Good fortune and a new pitching coach could help.“I think my biggest thing is health, first and foremost,” Cashner said. “I feel like I kind of struggled with that last year. Working with Doug is a treat for me, and it’s special just because he played for so long and me and him mesh really well together.”Along with Dylan Bundy, Cashner and Cobb are the most tenured starting pitchers Hyde has.“I think experience is important http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey ,” Hyde said. “Especially the right experience, the right type of people, really good veteran guys do make a major impact in how they prepare, just watching them play.”The 31-year-old Cobb had an awful start to his first season with Baltimore. Before the All-Star break, Cobb was 2-12 with a 6.41 ERA. He improved markedly in the second half with a 3-3 record and 2.56 ERA.Cobb is confident that with new management, the Orioles are on the right track.“I feel like we’ve got the guys that have been around the league, seen championship caliber organizations,” Cobb said. “When you have those guys come in and have seen that much success and tell you that your stuff is good, it does play; we need to tweak a few things here and there, it’s not a full rebuild, it gives you confidence.”
