CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians’ sprint to another division title has turned into a crawl.Andrew Miller gave up two RBI doubles in the seventh inning as Cleveland’s march to a third straight AL Central championship was slowed by the Detroit Tigers Michael Wacha Jersey , who beat the Indians 5-4 on Friday night to end a 10-game losing streak at Progressive Field.The loss prevented the Indians from reducing their magic number to secure a postseason berth that has been a foregone conclusion for months. But Kansas City’s win over second-place Minnesota dropped the Indians’ number to one and they can celebrate with a win on Saturday.Miller, making his third appearance since coming off the disabled list, relieved Adam Cimber (0-2) in the seventh, but couldn’t stop the Tigers from snapping a 2-2 tie.Jeimer Candelario, who homered in the first off Josh Tomlin, doubled home one run and Victor Martinez also doubled off Miller, a former All-Star who has been on the DL three times and has not been as dominant.Lately, the wins have been less frequent for Cleveland. The Indians are just 5-8 in September and are not clicking on all cylinders with October coming quickly.“But it’s a long season and guys go through things throughout the course of the season,” said Tomlin, the Indians’ longest-tenured player. “We’ve all seen it. We’re all just trying to get on the same page, just trying to play out style of baseball as much as we can. Once it clicks and once we get on a roll, it should be pretty good.”Down 5-2, the Indians scored twice in the ninth against closer Shane Greene, who finally retired Francisco Lindor on a fly to right with the tying run at second.Josh Donaldson homered and went 2 for 4 in his home debut for Cleveland, and Edwin Encarnacion connected for his 31st homer.Donaldson was pleased to contribute, even in a loss.“It’s been a while since I’ve had this type of adrenaline going through my body,” said the 2015 AL MVP, who was sidelined for more than three months by a calf injury. “I’ve had to try to take a step back http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-ozzie-smith-jersey , breathe a little bit more, try to slow the game down. I’ve been pretty excited to be here and play the last couple games. To have a little bit of success tonight was nice.”Drew VerHagen (3-2) got two outs in the sixth and Greene worked a shaky ninth for his 29th save.Tigers starter Matthew Boyd held the Indians to just one hit until the sixth, when former Toronto teammates Encarnacion and Donaldson tied it with consecutive homers.First, Encarnacion hit a towering shot into the left-field seats.After returning to the dugout following his “walking the parrot” home run ritual, Encarnacion had just peeled off his batting gloves when Donaldson got the green light on a 3-0 pitch and lifted it over the wall for his first hit in eight at-bats with the Indians.The moment was one Cleveland fans are hoping to see again in October from Donaldson, who was acquired from the Blue Jays on Aug. 31.HEAD’S UP PLAYDetroit’s JaCoby Jones scored what ended up being the winning run in the eighth inning on a daring play.Jones was on second when a third strike went to the backstop. When Cleveland catcher Yan Gomes threw to first, Jones never stopped and scored with a headfirst slide into the plate.“You have to have courage to be able to do things,” manager Ron Gardenhire said. “You also have to have speed and good instincts. He’s got those. That was really exciting. It pumped everybody up.”SLOW STARTTomlin made his first start for the Indians since May 21, but was in trouble right away. Candelario connected for a 422-foot homer on the game’s third pitch.It was the 23rd homer allowed by Tomlin in just 55 2/3 innings. Tomlin’s habit of giving up homers was one of the reasons he was dropped from the rotation earlier this season, and perhaps why his career could be coming to a close.TAKE COVERGardenhire was able to laugh after being struck on the left leg in the dugout by a screaming foul ball hit by Brian McCann in the sixth.“It hit me right in the calf,” said Gardenhire, who retreated to the other end of the dugout after being hit. “Not hard, but it hit me. That hasn’t happened very much. I wasn’t that fast when I was young, and I know I’m not now.”TRAINER’S ROOMTigers: INF Niko Goodrum (bruised left quad) was not in the lineup and could miss several days. While playing shortstop on Wednesday, Goodrum collided with left fielder Christin Stewart while chasing a fly ball.Indians: RHP Trevor Bauer will pitch off the mound Saturday as recovers from a broken leg that has sidelined him since Aug. 11. Manager Terry Francona said Bauer recovered nicely after throwing 20 to 25 pitches in a bullpen session on Wednesday and the team is encouraged by his progress. Bauer will soon begin a regular running routine and undergo another MRI.UP NEXTMike Clevinger, who is 6-1 with a 2.15 ERA against AL Central teams, makes his third start this season against the Tigers. Michael Fulmer goes for Detroit. NEW YORK — The 1,584th major league game for David Wright was the first one in which he ever thought he was going to throw up while in the on-deck circle. The 1 Albert Pujols Jersey ,585th major league game also promises to be an unprecedented experience for Wright, who will make his final appearance in the bigs Saturday night when the New York Mets host the Miami Marlins in the penultimate game of the season for both teams at Citi Field.Jose Urena earned the win by allowing one run over six innings Friday night as the Marlins won the series opener, 8-1.Mets left-hander Steven Matz (5-11, 4.14 ERA) is scheduled to oppose Marlins right-hander Trevor Richards (4-9, 4.66) on Saturday night. But all eyes before, during and after the game will be on Wright, the career-long Met who will be forced to retire after the season due to chronic neck, shoulder and back injuries.Article continues below ...“I’m happy that David got back to the field,” said Marlins manager Don Mattingly, whose own career was shortened by back woes. “He’s worked so hard and you hate to see guys battle, battle, battle to not get back to the field. The fact that he worked his way back, I think tells a lot about David, his kind of desire.”Wright’s pinch-hit at-bat in the fifth inning Friday night — he grounded out on the first pitch he saw from Urena — was his first at-bat for the Mets since May 27, 2016, when he went 1-for-4 against the Los Angeles Dodgers and struck out against Louis Coleman in his final plate appearance.Wright underwent complicated neck surgery — it was officially termed a “cervical discectomy and fusion surgery” — 20 days later. It was the first of three operations for Wright, who had right rotator cuff surgery last Sept. 5 and a lower back operation exactly a month later.Wright recovered well enough to embark upon a three-week rehab assignment in August. But while playing for Class A St. Lucie and Triple-A Las Vegas, he realized his body would not allow him to play any longer.“Physically and the way I feel right now http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-stan-musial-jersey , and from everything that the doctors have told me, there’s not going to be any improvement,” Wright said during a tearful press conference Sept. 13. “So, yeah, I don’t see (continuing his career in 2019) as a possibility.”There were no tears for Wright on Friday, when he and manager Mickey Callaway agreed he would make a pinch-hitting appearance the first time Callaway had to replace the pitcher. But Wright’s dinner nearly made an unexpected appearance in the on-deck circle in the fourth inning, when he was preparing to bat behind Kevin Plawecki. “I bent down for a minute and I was like ‘It might come out,’ ” Wright said with a grin afterward. “My heart felt like it was beating through my chest and I was like ‘I can’t do this right now.'”Fortunately for Wright, Plawecki hit into a fielder’s choice for the final out. The next inning Wright received a standing ovation from the crowd of 27,045 both before and after his at-bat.“I’ve played in a lot of Opening Days and I’ve played in some playoff games and some World Series games and I never felt that type of nervousness that I felt tonight,” Wright said. “Like I said, there were points where I felt like I was pretty close to throwing up, but once it was over and I got a chance to kind of look up a little bit, I wish I could have gotten a hit. But putting (a) 96 (mph fastball) in play isn’t so bad either. Just the reaction from the crowd, I’ll remember that forever.”Wright will receive plenty of ovations Saturday, when the Mets expect a rare sellout. The gates will open at 4:30 p.m. so that fans can watch Wright take batting practice. Callaway said Wright will likely receive two at-bats before being pulled before the top of an inning.Wright is scheduled to spend at least an inning with the Mets’ broadcast crew after he leaves the game. He’ll end the night by addressing the crowd after the final out.As for what he expects?“Just to be able to get in the flow of the game a little bit and to really be able to soak it in and enjoy the moment, I think, is my goal for (Saturday) Roger Maris Jersey ,” Wright said. “A hit wouldn’t hurt. But expectations are low, so I’ll be smiling (Saturday), hits or outs.”The spate of injuries will bring a low-key ending to a career that once appeared destined to land Wright in the Hall of Fame. Through his age-30 season in 2013, Wright had a .301 batting average, a .382 on-base percentage and a .506 slugging percentage in 1,374 games, numbers which compared favorably to George Brett (.316/.370.,503 in 1,358 games) and Chipper Jones (.309/.404/.544 in 1,252 games).“There is a sadness to it,” Callaway said Friday afternoon. “We’re glad he gets to go out there tomorrow and be in front of the fans and in front of his daughters and we’re glad that his hard work paid off. He did everything he could to come back and he’s going to get to show everybody one more time.”Matz didn’t factor into the decision in his most recent start last Sunday, when he gave up three runs over three innings as the Mets beat the Washington Nationals 8-6. Richards earned the win Sunday, when he tossed seven scoreless innings in the Marlins’ 6-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.Matz is 3-2 with a 3.26 ERA in seven career starts against the Marlins, and that includes a 1-0 record and 2.31 ERA in two starts against Mia mi this season.Richards took the loss in his lone outing against the Mets on Sept. 12, when he gave up six runs (four earned) over five innings as Miami fell 13-0.
