ATLANTA -- Danny Salazar didnt want to be the pitcher who couldnt keep the Cleveland Indians winning streak alive.In the process, the right-hander extended his personal win streak.Salazar threw seven innings, Lonnie Chisenhall hit his second homer of the series and Cleveland stretched its winning streak to 12 games by beating the Atlanta Braves 3-0 on Wednesday night.Cleveland swept its fourth straight series to extend the majors longest winning streak this season. The Indians began the day leading second-place Kansas City by six games in the AL Central.Salazar (10-3) was dominant, allowing five hits with no walks and eight strikeouts. He lowered the ALs second-best ERA to 2.22 while winning his sixth straight start and keeping the Indians on their roll.Of course I want to keep going with the streak and that was my main goal today, to try to get a win for the team, and I got it, Salazar said.The Indians need one more win to match the longest winning streaks in franchise history. They won 13 straight in 1942 and 1951. They had another 12-game streak in 1922.Jason Kipnis broke a scoreless tie with a two-run single in the fifth.Cody Allen gave up a leadoff single to Nick Markakis in the ninth and walked Erick Aybar with two outs before ending the game on Emilio Bonifacios grounder to second for his 16th save.Salazar acknowledged he struggled early to adjust to the Atlanta heat, even though the first-pitch temperature of 88 degrees was moderate for recent weeks.I thought early it didnt look like he had the energy in his body, manager Terry Francona said.Even when you think hes not as sharp, he can put up zeroes.Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said Salazar was Just like advertised. He was real tough.Braves right-hander Joel De La Cruz (0-1), recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett for his major league debut, allowed three runs in six innings.Chisenhalls high homer landed midway up the lower level of the seats in right in the sixth.Atlantas Jace Peterson had two doubles to extend his hitting streak to a career-best 10 games.Braves center fielder Ender Inciarte made a leaping catch of Mike Napolis drive at the wall in the seventh.BLAME THE BATRight-hander Brian Shaw struck out Freddie Freeman to close the eighth with runners on first and second. It was the third strikeout of the game for Freeman, who shattered his bat as he slammed it to the ground in frustration. Freeman also bounced his helmet off ground.Braves batters were 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position, continuing their season-long struggles.SOUVENIRDe La Cruz singled in his first at-bat in the third inning for his first major league hit. The ball was tossed into the Braves dugout on the first-base line to be saved. With De La Cruz standing nearby on first base, a laughing Aybar pretended to throw the ball over the dugout roof into the stands.INTRODUCTIONSThe Indians first glimpse of De La Cruz came a day before the game. Francona said he saw the right-hander after De La Cruz, carrying Braves luggage, checked in at the Indians hotel on Wednesday night.Asked if he knew anything about De La Cruz, Francona said Well, I rode the elevator with him last night. I was going to my room and I saw this kid with a bag. I said, `You must be De La Cruz. He laughed. We havent seen him pitch. But Ive shaken his hand.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: C Roberto Perez (broken right thumb) is moving closer to game action. Francona said Perez might play as a DH in a minor league rehab game as soon as this weekend. Perez required surgery and has been out since May 1.UP NEXTIndians: RHP Carlos Carrasco (3-2, 2.73) will make his 10th start of the season as Cleveland opens a series at Toronto on Thursday night.Braves: RHP Mike Foltynewicz (sore right elbow) will come off the 15-day DL to start in Thursday nights series opener against Miami instead of making a second rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett. RHP Julio Teherans scheduled start was pushed back one day to Friday to give him extra days rest.

Greedy Williams Browns Jersey . Pert has formerly spent time as an assistant coach with Cardiff City, Coventry City, and Bahrain mens national team. "Martyn is a highly-respected coach with experience at the top levels in England," said Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson. Denzel Ward Browns Jersey .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. CINCINNATI -- Cedric Ogbuehi breaks the huddle with Cincinnatis starting offense and heads for the right side of the line. Hes trying to make up for a year of lost time.The Bengals first pick in the 2015 draft has moved up to starting right tackle. Cincinnatis decision to take Ogbuehi (oh-BWAY-hee) with the 21st overall pick last year was a big surprise -- hed suffered a significant knee injury only four months earlier.They projected him as their starter this year, and things are going as planned.It was tough, but Im ready for the challenge this year, ready to show why they got me, and show Im a great player, Ogbuehi said.Ogbuehi represents the biggest change in the offense. He takes over for Andre Smith, who was allowed to leave as a free agent.Ogbuehi was considered one of the top tackles available in the draft until he tore the ACL in his right knee during Texas A&Ms game in the Liberty Bowl. Doctors projected it would take most of a year for him to recover. The Bengals drafted him in the first round anyway, relying on projections that the knee would fully heal and hed be ready to start this season.The 6-foot-5, 310-pound linemen appeared in six games at the end of last season, getting on the field as an extra blocker on some plays. He was given the spot at right tackle when training camp opened last week.I have to earn it, obviously, but its my job, he said. My athleticism, I would say, is rare, unique. I can block a lot of different players.For now, hes got to learn the finer points of blocking some of the best pass rushers in the NFL.He has every talent and ability you need to be a great offensive tackle, left tackle Andrew Whitworth said.dddddddddddd But the reality is that theres probably been a lot of guys over time that have had that. Its going to be putting his head down and working through the ups and downs of playing that position and keeping that mentality and that confidence that he can do it.Ogbuehi is lined up against end Carlos Dunlap during practice, facing a player who made the Pro Bowl last season after getting 13 1/2 sacks. Former Bengals right tackle Willie Anderson, who is helping coach linemen during camp, considers that a benefit for Ogbuehi.Youll be surprised at how much that helps guys out, facing a Pro Bowler every day, Anderson said. It gives them something to work on. Youre not just working against some scrub guy. Youre working against top-notch guys every day.Game notes A storm pushed back the start of the afternoon practice and prompted the team to move from the public grass fields to inside Paul Brown Stadium, which has artificial turf. Fans werent allowed inside. The Bengals dont have a covered field. ... WR James Wright was cleared for practice for the first time since 2014, when he suffered a knee injury as a rookie. He needed all of last season to rehab. I cant even remember, it was so long, Wright said. It felt like forever.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
