CLEVELAND -- Coming off a tough series against the Detroit Tigers, the Cleveland Indians needed a boost. Thats exactly what they got in Tuesday nights 3-0 win over Toronto. Ubaldo Jimenez and three relievers combined on a shutout while the offence made the most of four hits to help the Indians rebound from losing three of four to the Tigers, who came into town and widened their lead in the American League Central. "This was a nice bounce-back win," manager Terry Francona said. "We didnt do a lot offensively but we played a crisp game. Again, it starts with pitching." Jimenez (7-4) dodged constant trouble in six innings, allowing five hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Cody Allen, Joe Smith and Chris Perez blanked Toronto over the final three innings. Perez allowed two hits in the ninth, but earned his 10th save as the Indians recorded their AL-leading 11th shutout. Nick Swisher and Michael Brantley had RBI singles in the fourth when the Indians put together a walk and three straight singles off starter Josh Johnson (1-4), who gave up two runs in seven innings. Asdrubal Cabrera added a sacrifice fly in the eighth. The win was also a nice bounce-back performance for Jimenez, who took a 5-0 lead into the sixth in his last start against Kansas City, but didnt retire a batter in that inning and the Indians went on to lose 10-7. When faced with trouble this time, Jimenez didnt buckle. "Like they say in baseball, you have to forget quick," he said. "You cant be thinking about bad stuff that happened. You have to forget about that and move on." "He pitched around some things but he never let it spiral or get out of hand," Francona said. "There was a lot of things to like." Toronto stranded nine runners, with seven in the first five innings, and was 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position. Maicer Izturis and Rajai Davis singled with one out in the ninth, but J.P. Arencibia struck out and pinch hitter Josh Thole lined out to shortstop. The Blue Jays best threat against Jimenez came in the fourth when they had runners on first and third with nobody out. Colby Rasmus started the inning with a double and took third on Izturis single. Davis hit into a fielders choice and stole second but Arencibia struck out and Emilio Bonifacio flied out to deep right. Jimenezs strongest inning came in the sixth, the only time he retired the side in order. After finishing 9-17 with a 5.40 ERA in 2012, the right-hander has had much better results this season. He has won his last three decisions and is 4-1 with a 2.93 ERA in his last eight starts. "Hes done a pretty damn good job," Francona said. "He should be proud. What happened last season was difficult for him. He gives us a chance to win. Well take that." Johnson retired the first 10 hitters before Cabrera drew a one-out walk in the fourth. Johnson fell behind 3-0 before a foul ball and called strike ran the count full. Cabrera walked on an inside pitch before Jason Kipnis hit a hard ground ball past shortstop Jose Reyes for Clevelands first hit. Swisher bounced a single through the right side that scored Cabrera and moved Kipnis to third. Brantleys line single to right made it 2-0. Johnson beat Baltimore on June 23 for his only win of the season, allowing four runs in six innings. He was sidelined from April 21 to June 9 with right triceps inflammation. Johnson won his first career start against the Indians on May 20, 2012, while pitching for Miami. Toronto has lost each of Johnsons last three starts. The Blue Jays are 5-10 since winning 11 straight from June 11-23. "We outhit them, but we just didnt outscore them," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "Thats what hurts. We had our chances, but we just couldnt get that big hit tonight." NOTES: The start of Tuesdays game was delayed by rain for 36 minutes. ...

Air Max 97 Günstig Herren .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Replay officials both on-site and in the Atlantic Coast Conferences office were not shown an angle that likely would have overturned a North Carolina touchdown in last weekends game against Miami.The first-quarter touchdown catch by North Carolinas Austin Proehl gave the Tar Heels a 10-0 lead, on the way to what became a 20-13 victory.The feed that proved that that should not have been a touchdown wasnt given to the league office, Miami coach Mark Richt told The Associated Press on Tuesday.An ACC spokesman confirmed that replay officials were not shown the angle that would have provided a view of the ball bouncing off Proehls chest. The angle was shown on the ESPN broadcast when the first quarter ended, long after the review was completed.Richt asked the ACC for clarity about the call, after the Hurricanes thought replays suggested that Proehl was stull juggling the ball when he was hit by Miami linebacker Shaquille Quarterman and stepped out of the back of the end zone. Proehl came down with the ball but was out of bounds.Quarterman said Tuesday that he saw Proehl juggle the ball.Yes sir, I did, I did, Quarterman said. I saw it get juggled the first time and I didnt think his foot was in, so when the ref said his foot was in ... Im just a player. I had nothing to do with the refs calls and things like that.Proehls catch was immediately signaled a touchdown by back judge Pat Ryan. It was reviewed, as is customary, though replays shown on the broadcast suggested the only question about the play was whether Proehl managed to keep a foot inbounds when the ball arrived -- which he clearly did.None of the replays shown immediately after the score showed the ball bouncinng off Proehls chest, though one -- from the back -- did indicate that the ball was moving.ddddddddddddIts a shame that the feed that was available wasnt made available, Richt said.It was the second straight week that a debated touchdown decision in a close game did not go Miamis way. Running back Mark Walton had a touchdown called back against Florida State two weeks ago on a holding call well away from the play, in what finished as a 20-19 Miami loss.Its the game of football, Walton said. Things happen like that. Bad calls, good calls, youve just got to move on.Miami (4-2, 1-2) plays at Virginia Tech (4-2, 2-1) on Thursday night in a critical ACC Coastal game for both teams.Its impossible to say how the Miami-North Carolina game would have changed if Proehls touchdown didnt count. North Carolina likely would have tried what would have been a high-percentage 22-yard field goal if the short third-down pass was deemed incomplete, and the Tar Heels had another excellent chance for points when they ran out the clock deep in Miami territory to end the game.Walton was at the center of a hotly debated play last season where Miami used an eight-lateral kickoff return as time expired to beat Duke, a play that led to the ACC suspending officials for two games for botching calls on the field and during the review process.The ACC now uses a collaborative replay system, meaning the replay official at each stadium gets assistance from those watching in the league office in Greensboro, North Carolina.---Online:The APs college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
