(Sports Network) - The Cleveland Indians shoot for their first four-game win streak since the third week of May as they close out their interleague set against the Cincinnati Reds today at Great American Ball Park. With the Detroit Tigers having lost two in a row, the Indians now find themselves 1 1/2 games ahead in the race for the top spot in the American League Central following their 3-1 win versus the Reds on Saturday afternoon. Michael Brantley delivered a three-run homer in the third inning to account for all the offense the Tribe would need in their victory. However, in that third inning Cleveland also lost starting pitcher Fausto Carmona with a strained right quadriceps when he fell awkwardly running out a ground ball. Carmonas efforts on the base paths did pay dividends however as it kept the inning alive and eventually placed Brantley at the plate for his big hit. Frank Herrmann replaced Carmona on the mound and allowed one hit over three innings to pick up his first major league win. Vinnie Pestano struck out Scott Rolen to end a threat in the ninth inning, picking up his second career save in the process. It feels really good to be able to contribute, Herrmann said. Its fun being on a good team, but its even more fun when you can contribute and help out. Reds starter Homer Bailey was charged with eight hits and two earned runs as he suffered the defeat. He fanned seven batters over seven innings, but lost his third consecutive decision. We just had that one inning where it kind of fell apart on us, Bailey said of the third frame when it appeared a routine double-play play resulted in both players being safe when Paul Janish appeared to pull his foot off second base prematurely. Joey Votto, the defending NL MVP, accounted for the only run for the Reds with his 12th home run of the season in the eighth inning. Votto finished with two hits, as did Rolen, but Cincy batters struck out 11 times and were just 1- for-13 with men in scoring position as they stranded a total of 12 base runners. Rolen, who is batting .256 this season, is one hit shy of 2,000 for his career. Heading to the hill for the Indians in the series finale this afternoon is Mitch Talbot. The right-hander, who is in search of just his third win of 2011, saw limited time with the big club in April and May but managed to work his way into five starts last month. On Monday the third-year man lasted just five innings against Arizona, giving up three runs on three hits and a pair of walks and even though the Tribe captured the win Talbot did not factor into the decision. Talbot, who has had some issues with his control so far this season, has a record of 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in his career versus the Reds. As for Cincinnati, its plan is to hand the ball to right-hander Mike Leake for his first-ever appearances against Cleveland. Leake, now in just his second year in the majors, posted his most recent win on Monday, a 5-0 decision over the Tampa Bay Rays. In that matchup the California native allowed only four hits and a pair of walks, while striking out three through six innings of action to snap a personal two-game slide. Despite being the top scoring team in the NL Central, the Reds are currently just 42-42 and are fourth in the standings, three games off the pace set by Milwaukee and St. Louis. Additionally, Cincinnati is now a mere 5-12 in interleague play this season, compared to the Tribe which has taken 11 of 17 outings. Bradley Fletcher Jersey .

Stephen Gostkowski Jersey . PAUL, Minn.NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball is threatening to kick Alex Rodriguez out of the game for life unless the New York Yankees star agrees not to fight a lengthy suspension for his role in the sports latest drug scandal, according to a person familiar with the discussions. The person spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. Whether Commissioner Bud Selig would actually issue a lifetime suspension was unclear and a permanent ban could be shortened by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz to about 200 games, the person said. The number of players likely to be disciplined stood at 14 Wednesday. Front and center is Rodriguez, baseballs highest-paid player and the most prominent one linked in media reports over the past seven months to Biogenesis of America, a closed Florida anti-aging clinic that allegedly distributed banned performance-enhancing drugs. The Yankees expected Rodriguez to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, attempting to obstruct MLBs investigation, and not being truthful with MLB in the past. Baseball has considered suspending him for violations of its labor contract and drug agreement. Even if he is banned from baseball, there is precedent for a shortened penalty: When pitcher Steve Howe was given a lifetime ban in 1992 in his seventh suspension for drug or alcohol use, an arbitrator reduced the penalty to 119 days. A three-time MVP, Rodriguez acknowledged four years ago that he used performance-enhancing substances while with Texas from 2001-03 but repeatedly has denied using them since. Hes been sidelined all season since hip surgery in January and then a quadriceps strain during a minor league rehabilitation assignment in July. The Yankees say hell start another rehab Friday -- Double-A Trenton appeared to be the likely destination. "Hopefully Alex will be back shortly thereafter," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. Rodriguez didnt stop to talk with reporters after his workout Wednesday at the teams minor league complex in Tampa, Fla. At first, MLB and the union thought talks on the Biogenesis probe could be completed by Friday, but negotiations to avoid grievances are likely to push back announcements until at least Saturday or Sunday. Others accused in media reports of receiving performance-enhancing drugs from Biogenesis include a trio of 2013 All-Stars: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz, San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera and Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta. Most of the players face 50-game bans as first offenders. Both sides felt urgency to complete the process because by the middle of next week, teams will have fewer than 50 games left.dddddddddddd And that would force players to complete suspensions during the playoffs or at the start of next season. Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski protected against a possible suspension of Peralta by acquiring slick-fielding infielder Jose Iglesias from Boston in a three-team trade Tuesday night. "If it were a 15-day thing, like a typical injury, I think we could have comfortably dealt with it with the players we already have," Dombrowski said Wednesday. "But when you start to talk about 50 days and a possible playoff run, we feel better going ahead with Jose." While MLB told the union which players it intends to suspend, it hasnt issued formal notices of discipline. Because of that, the countdown hasnt started under baseballs Joint Drug Agreement, which says the suspensions are effective on the third business day after the notice is issued. The sides also havent decided whether suspensions for first-time offenders who challenge the penalty can be announced before an arbitration decision. If some stars knew their seasons were about to be cut short, they werent letting on Wednesday, at least publicly. "I cant talk about nothing right now. Just wait for the news," Cabrera said Wednesday before playing against Cincinnati. Peralta thinks he shouldnt be on the list of players linked to Biogenesis. "Its wrong," he said. "But whatever happens, I need to fight and try to move on." Toronto outfielder Melky Cabrera, Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal were all suspended for 50 games last year for positive tests for elevated testosterone. MLB informed the union they wont receive additional discipline for that violation, two people familiar with the probe said. They also spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. "Nothings been told to me," Melky Cabrera said. "I served my suspension last year, but MLB has never told me that its OK now. Im seeing it in the press, but I dont know." Texas was unable to find a replacement bat to fill a void a suspension of Cruz would create. "I dont think anybodys comfortable losing a significant part of your club, but its out of our control," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. "We explored some deal like that. They just didnt come to a head. It wasnt for lack of interest or lack of effort. It was more lack of supply and lack of fit, really." cheap nfl jerseys cheap soccer jerseys ' ' '
