Cleveland, posing with thumbs up for the teams from corse178's blog
WASHINGTON -- With injuries and struggles decimating the Cleveland Indians starting rotation, Josh Tomlin had been a rock. Garett Bolles Jersey .That hasnt been the case the past two starts when Tomlin has failed to get through the fifth inning. For the second consecutive outing, Tomlin allowed seven earned runs, this time in a 7-4 loss to the Washington Nationals on Wednesday.Tomlin (11-5) allowed those runs on eight hits in four-plus innings while striking out four. Jayson Werth crushed a three-run home run in the second inning, and three hits in the fifth ended Tomlins outing.Ive been prone to home runs all year, but they come usually when no ones on base or limited traffic, Tomlin said. Right now theres traffic. It seems like Im beginning to have to work around guys. I make a mistake, I pay for it.It didnt help Tomlin that right fielder Abraham Almonte appeared to lose a ball in the sun on what turned into Werths ground-rule double in the first and had a ball go off his glove for an RBI double by Daniel Murphy in the fifth.Tomlin accepted blame for giving up hits, but manager Terry Francona wouldve liked to see Almonte make a couple of plays for his pitcher.He made some mistakes and paid for it, Francona said. The first inning, Abe was fighting the sun, turns into a double, thats the run. And then on the line drive to right, looked like Abe had it and looked to the wall, hit him in the glove. That would have been first and second with one out as opposed to a full-fledged rally.Almonte said the sun was difficult and that he lost control when he got close to the wall.You always want to do your best and help the team win and thats the main goal, Almonte said. Some days its not obviously what youre looking for and today was one of those days.?The Indians offense had its share of success against Washingtons Gio Gonzalez (8-9), including Francisco Lindors two-run home run in the third and RBI doubles by Almonte and Jose Ramirez. Ramirez went 3 for 4 with an RBI to extend his hitting streak to 14 games.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: Francona returned after a health scare caused him to miss the series opener Tuesday. Francona, who has a history of blood clots and pulmonary embolisms, complained of chest pain and had an elevated heart rate but reported feeling better by Wednesday. ... Francona said RHP Tommy Hunter threw a simulated game Tuesday and was progressing well from a non-baseball injury.UNCLE CARRASCOIndians pitcher Carlos Carrasco passed his U.S. citizenship test last week, which was cause for celebration. Carrasco wore an Uncle Sam costume for the flight back to Cleveland, posing with thumbs up for the teams Twitter account .UP NEXTIndians: RHP Corey Kluber (11-8, 3.22 ERA) starts the series opener back in Cleveland against RHP Jhoulys Chacin (3-7, 5.27) and the Los Angeles Angels. Brian Dawkins Jersey . The Redskins announced Monday that the quarterback who led the team to the Super Bowl championship in the 1987 season will serve as a personnel executive. John Elway Jersey . No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday. http://www.cheapbroncosjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-brendan-langley-jersey . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. CARACAS, Venezuela -- Crisis-wracked Venezuela has been barred from hosting a Davis Cup tie against Peru by the International Tennis Federation over security concerns.The Venezuelan Tennis Federation considers the decision baseless, and plans to appeal.We dont deny were in the worst crisis in our countrys history, said an angry Luis Contreras, president of the Venezuelan federation, but that only affects a sector of the population. There no justification for this.Venezuela has until Thursday to choose a neutral location to host the Americas Group II final from Sept. 16-18 that was scheduled for the central city of Puerto La Cruz. If it fails to do so, the tie will be moved to Peru, Contreras said.He said the ITF decision by email on Friday came as a shock because Venezuela hosted events this year without incident, including a home tie against Paraguay in March, and always had fluid and cordial communications with tennis governing body.This is something you only see in countries paralyzeed by war, Contreras said. Chris Harris Jr Jersey. ITF spokesman Nick Imison, in an email to The AP, said the tie was being moved from Venezuela on the advice of independent risk assessment advisers regarding security concerns. He didnt elaborate.Venezuelas political unrest has already disrupted some sporting competitions in the country.In June, the U.S. junior wrestling team withdrew from a regional tournament over security concerns, and in recent days speculation in the media has been rife that Argentina could skip a World Cup qualifying match on Tuesday in the city of Merida.In addition to rampant crime, Venezuelans are suffering from a deep economic crisis marked by 700 percent inflation and widespread food shortages. This week, hundreds of thousands of opponents of President Nicolas Maduro poured into the streets to demand a recall referendum cutting short his terms.
