CLEVELAND (AP) — hing Sunday.Melky Cabrera hit a grand slam to cap a six-run fourth inning Kerry Wood Jersey , four pitchers combined on the team’s AL-leading 13th shutout and the Indians continued to roll through August with an 8-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.The Indians lead Minnesota by 12 games in the AL Central, but they aren’t biding their time with the postseason still several weeks away. Cleveland is a season-high 19 games over .500 (71-52), has won seven of eight and is 13-4 this month.“They’re a well put-together club with a lot of weapons,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor, who has appeared in all but two of Cleveland’s 123 games, was given a rare day off. The offense didn’t miss its leadoff hitter, who is among the AL leaders in several offensive categories.“It’s a fun day,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “I mean, you set out to win, but when you do it maybe in a different way, it helps. Not just for the win, but it helps your roster, it helps everybody feel like they’re doing something.”Cabrera, batting right-handed against reliever Sean Gilmartin, hit a 1-1 pitch into the bleachers in left-center for the Indians’ ninth grand slam this season http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , moving them into a tie with Boston and Cincinnati for the major league lead.Greg Allen, moved to the top spot in the order, had two hits, scored twice and extended his hitting streak to 12 games. Designated hitter Yandy Diaz, filling in for the injured Edwin Encarnacion, had an RBI double and drew a bases-loaded walk.“Just look at today, you give Lindor a day off and your center fielder who had been hitting ninth bats leadoff and gets on base three times,” Showalter said.Mike Clevinger (9-7) pitched six innings and is 4-0 in five career starts against Baltimore. The right-hander allowed seven hits and struck out seven.Andrew Miller, Dan Otero and Adam Cimber finished off the shutout. Baltimore has been blanked 11 times this season.Orioles starter Yefry Ramirez (1-5) allowed seven runs in three-plus innings. The rookie right-hander was removed after the first five hitters reached base in the fourth.Baltimore has the worst record in baseball (37-87) and is 16-47 on the road.Cleveland sent 11 batters to the plate in the fourth. Michael Brantley’s RBI double and a bases-loaded walk to Diaz scored the first two runs.Erik Gonzalez and Allen singled to start the rally. Brantley followed wth a double for a 3-0 lead and Jose Ramirez was issued an intentional walk. Diaz walked on a 3-2 pitch that brought Gilmartin into the game.Cabrera hit his fourth career grand slam and first since May 27, 2016, with the Chicago White Sox against Kansas City.Clevinger’s fifth pickoff of the season helped him avoid first-inning trouble. Rookie Cedric Mullins started the game with a double and took third on Jonathan Villar’s one-out single. Clevinger then picked Villar off first and struck out Mark Trumbo.“It stops the momentum a lot,” Clevinger said. “Getting a pickoff not only puts the momentum in our favor, but then you’ve got two outs and a fly ball gets you out of the inning versus turning into a sac fly.”Clevinger allowed a baserunner in every inning. Baltimore’s best chance came with runners on first and third in the second, but Jace Peterson flied out and Caleb Joseph struck out.STILL THROWINGIndians pitcher Trevor Bauer, out four to six weeks with a stress fracture in his right leg Addison Russell Jersey , played catch from a standing position in the outfield before the game. He had previously played catch from his knees to keep his arm in shape after being hit by a line drive Aug. 11.Bauer is wearing a walking boot. He was struck by a liner off the bat of Jose Abreu of the Chicago White Sox.COMING BACKOrioles OF Adam Jones, who was placed on the bereavement list Friday, is expected to rejoin the team Monday in Toronto.TRAINER’S ROOMOrioles: Trumbo (right knee inflammation) left the game in the eighth inning and will be placed on the disabled list. The 32-year-old slugger has been plagued by pain all season and said, “It’s made me kind of a nothing on the bases because I’m not able to run well.”Indians: Encarnacion (right wrist contusion) is expected to take batting practice on the field Monday. He’s been on the disabled list since Aug. 12.UP NEXTRHPs Corey Kluber and Rick Porcello, tied for second in the AL win lead and one behind the Yankees’ Luis Severino, meet when the Indians open a four-game series in Boston on Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shohei Ohtani was rewarded for a Ruthian season at the plate — and on the mound.Baseball’s best two-way player since the Babe at the dawn of the live-ball era a century ago, Ohtani was an overwhelming pick for American League Rookie of the Year on Monday despite an elbow injury that stymied his switch from Japan to the major leagues and likely will prevent him from pitching next year.“I was just kind of disappointed I wasn’t able to play a full season,” he said through a translator. “I feel like every player should be able to play a full year and help out the team. So that’s something I need to work on, and that’s going to be one of my goals, to stay healthy for a long full season and be able to the team win from day one.”Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was a runaway choice for the NL honor over Washington outfielder Juan Soto in a contest between 20-year-olds.A singular sensation who earned a chorus of praise for his dual success, Ohtani became the first player since Ruth in 1919 with 10 homers and four pitching wins in the same season.He didn’t play between June 4 and July 3 because of a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow Sammy Sosa Jersey , an injury the Angels were aware of when they signed him for a $2,315,000 bonus last winter. The 24-year-old right-hander made just one more mound appearance, on Sept. 2, and three days later the team said a scan revealed additional damage and surgery was recommended.Ohtani appeared in 22 more games as a hitter, had Tommy John surgery on Oct. 1 and hopes to be able to help the Angels at the plate next season. He probably won’t take the mound again until 2020.“Everything’s going well,” he said. “We’re right on schedule, maybe even a little ahead.”Ohtani, who left the Nippon Ham Fighters to play in the major leagues, received 25 first-place votes and four seconds for 137 points from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar was second with five firsts and 89 points, and Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres was next with 25 points.Ohtani was 4-2 with a 3.31 ERA and 63 strikeouts over 51 2/3 innings in 10 starts. As a designated hitter, he batted .285 with 22 homers and 61 RBIs and a .925 OPS in 367 plate appearances.“Of course, getting hurt is never a good thing,” he said. “I was able to fight through it.”He is the first Japanese player to win a rookie honor since Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki in 2001 and the fourth overall, joining the Dodgers’ Hideo Nomo in 1995 and Seattle’s Kazuhiro Sasaki in 2000. Ohtani became the first player with 15 homers as a batter and 50 strikeouts as a pitcher in the same season.Acuna received 27 first-place votes and three seconds for 144 points. Soto got two firsts and 89 points Joe Maddon Jersey , and Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler was next with one first and 28 points.Acuna, in Japan with a major league All-Star team, declined to participate in a morning conference call about the vote, BBWAA secretary-treasurer Jack O’Connell said.Acuna started the season at Triple-A and made his debut on April 25, the youngest player in the majors then at 20 years, 128 days. The Venezuelan hit .293 with 26 homers, 64 RBIs and 16 steals with a .917 OPS. He set a Braves record with eight leadoff homers this season and tied a franchise mark by homering in five straight games from Aug. 11-14.Soto debuted on May 20 at 19 years, 207 days, although in a quirk the Dominican is credited with a home run from five days before his debut — he went deep on June 18 against the New York Yankees in the completion of the May 15 suspended game. Soto hit .292 with 22 homers, 70 RBIs and a .923 OPS. He was two shy of Tony Conigliaro’s big league record for home runs by a teenager.The AL and NL Manager of the Year will be announced Tuesday. Boston’s Alex Cora, Tampa Bay’s Kevin Cash and Oakland’s Bob Melvin are the finalists for the AL honor and Atlanta’s Brian Snitker, Milwaukee’s Craig Counsell and Colorado’s Bud Black are the finalists for the NL award.
