CLEVELAND -- While fans endured sweltering heat, Ubaldo Jimenez looked at the thermometer and just smiled. Jimenez shook off the mid-90s heat and left his own mid-90s fastball on the shelf, using a variety of breaking balls to strike out eight over six innings and help the Cleveland Indians beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-3 Saturday. "I love this weather," said Jimenez, a native of the Dominican Republic. "You get good and loose right away. I felt very comfortable." Jimenez (8-7) allowed a two-run homer to Luke Scott in the fourth inning, but otherwise was in command. The right-hander gave up five hits and walked only one, using a sharp slider and split-finger changeup instead of his usual big fastball. "I probably used less than half fastballs," said Jimenez, explaining that catcher Lou Marson saw the slider working and just kept calling it. The Indians bunched five runs into the second and third innings against Matt Moore (5-6) and Shelley Duncan hit a two-run homer as Cleveland won for the fourth time in five games. Cleveland remained three games behind the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox. Everything seemed to go the Indians way, even when they appeared to make an out. They got a reprieve in the seventh inning when plate umpire Scott Berry overruled his partner at first base Jerry Meals. With two outs and none on, Jose Lopez grounded to Tampa Bay shortstop Sean Rodriguez, whose low throw was scooped up by first baseman Carlos Pena and the Rays left the field. Indians manager Manny Acta protested that Pena bobbled the ball. Berry agreed, allowing Lopez to remain at first and ordering the Rays to go back to the field. Carlos Santana then hit a fly ball to left field for the innings final out. "You could see it from the dugout and I just said he never had the ball," Acta said. "The main thing is getting the play right." Jimenez won for the first time in three starts. He got out of a first-inning jam by firing a called third strike past Jeff Keppinger with two Rays on base. He then pitched efficiently except in the fourth, when Ben Zobrist hit a leadoff double and scored on Scotts two-out shot over the wall in centre. The right-hander lowered his ERA to 4.50 with his seventh straight start of six or more innings. Since giving up seven runs in a 12-6 loss to the White Sox on May 27 that ballooned his ERA to a season-high 5.79, Jimenez has a 2.93 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 46 innings. "Ubaldo continues to give us good outings, thats seven in a row," Acta said. Moore had won four straight, but tied a season high with five walks -- in only 4 2-3 innings. "I didnt do a very good job of helping myself out by walking guys and keeping them off base," said the 23-year-old lefty, who gave up five runs, five hits, and lost for the first time since May 28. "It was a very poor effort." Michael Brantley doubled to open the second inning and after Duncan reached on a one-out walk, Lou Marson hit a bloop to left that fell in front of a diving Desmond Jennings for an RBI double. Duncan scored on a groundout and Aaron Cunningham lined a drive up the middle to score Marson -- then stretched the hit into a double with some hustle on the basepaths. Doubles by Lopez and Santana mixed with two more walks helped make it 5-0 in the third. Brantley had an RBI groundout and Santana a run-scoring double. "Matty did not have one of his better days," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "It was a youthful thing. I still firmly believe in how good hes going to be, but it was a tough night for him." Duncans fourth homer in his past five starts made it 7-2 in the eighth against reliever Wade Davis. B.J. Upton hit his seventh homer in the ninth off Cleveland reliever Esmil Rogers. NOTES: Brantley has reached base safely in 22 straight games at Progressive Field, the longest active streak by an AL player in home games. ... Cleveland optioned LHP Nick Hagadone to Triple-A Columbus and used a 24-man roster. The Indians will recall LHP Scott Barnes from Columbus on Sunday. ... Maddon said he has no idea when 3B Evan Longoria will return. The three-time All-Star has been out since May 1 with a partially torn left hamstring. Jeff Keppinger started at third. He had been out since Wednesday with a bruised left tricep after being hit by a pitch. ... Maddon said OF Hideki Matsuis tight left hamstring has improved, but hes still likely to be limited to being the DH. nflcheapjerseysfromchina.com . Pittsburgh outlasted a pitcher whose career has outlasted the life of McCutchen. McCutchen had three RBIs, Casey McGehee drove in the go-ahead run with an eighth-inning single and the Pirates scored four runs off the Colorado bullpen to beat the Rockies 5-4 on a chilly Tuesday night. nfl cheapjerseys fromchina . -- Kyle Wiltjer had his first career double-double, finishing with 23 points and 12 rebounds in Kentuckys 88-50 win Saturday over Lipscomb. http://www.nflcheapjerseysfromchina.com/ . -- Sure enough, putting was all the rage Thursday in the World Challenge. nflcheapjerseysfromchina .com . Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., to Portuguese parents, the 32-year-old featherweight from Ajax, Ont., says it wont take long for the UFC 142 fans to figure out he is not a local. http://www.nflcheapjerseysfromchina.com/ . -- Manu Ginobili talked about wanting to find his rhythm after helping the San Antonio Spurs win yet another road game.I know, I know, in NFL football winning isnt just the main thing, its the only thing. But how about Buffalo Bills QB Thad Lewis coming off the far end of the bench and pushing an established Cincinnati Bengals team into overtime? I thought it would be an easy Cincinnati win but the Bills are better than their 2-4 record. And you would have to think coach Doug Marrone will take the points over the touchdown next time, but you live and learn. In New England, Tom Brady once again showed why he is the best of the best. After his interception on the late Hail Mary attempt you look at his body demeanor and conclude it is over. Then he gets that look of determination back and in a little over a minute and 70 yards, the Patriots are 5-1. If the Saints are ever in that position again, I doubt they will play passive on offence and work to eliminate timeouts vs. time on the clock for the opponent. You live and learn again. I always look forward to Sunday Night Football as the combination of Al Micheals and Cris Collinsworth is smooth and enjoyable to bring into my football world. Tony Romo may just have the best skill set of pocket movement without panic , I dont think anyone is worth the money that top players get but you see why if the market can afford it you can pay Romo some of it because some of the thing he does you cant teach. Robert Griffin III is not the same. Collinsworth had the great observation that RGIII has one dominate read and then the next one is not smooth in transition. Which leads me to Rob Gronkowski. Gronkowski is in a very difficult situation. All the talk about his practice ability should be ttaken on to the football field right now are true.dddddddddddd Players notice player and conclude if youre not ready then why do you look ready each and every day? But Grownkoski has two injuries: a back that kept him out of his senior season at the University of Arizona and has been injured twice, and a broken forearm that has been broken twice in the same spot. If he comes back and gets hurt again in any of those two areas the chance of healing 100 percent diminishes again. Then he will get tagged as "injury prone" and that eliminates value; the thought being if you cant stay healthy you cant play. And on the other side, there are younger players at his position that are improving every day that are a lot cheaper. Tough position. In Houston fans cheered when Matt Schaub was taken off the field with an injury. It takes a special type of human being to cheer when another man is so physically punished that he cant get back on his feet. I can only hope they dont have the ability to reproduce. Finally, the San Diego Chargers put together four drives of 10 plays or more in their win over the Colts. The offensive tackle combination of DJ Fluker and King Dunlap are monsters! Danny Woodhead, at 58" and 200lbs, amazes not only on perimeter runs but in between the tackles and through the area that people dont come back from: the interior. The Chargers are a contradiction of immense physical size and power with a separate talent level of undersized speed and quickness. All of a sudden the AFC West, which originally had one good team in Denver, now has three with Kansas City and the Chargers as well. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
