Winning for the eighth time in sixteen games without their number one netminder (8-7-1), the Leafs rolled over the Lightning by a 7-1 final at the St.CLEVELAND -- Justin Masterson, backed by three double plays, pitched 7 1-3 strong innings to help the Cleveland Indians beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 on Monday night and avoided a four-game sweep. Masterson (7-8) struck out six as Cleveland broke a four-game losing streak. The right-hander gave up only one run and seven hits, improving to 5-2 over his last eight starts. Chris Perez pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 29 chances. Shin-Soo Choo put the Indians ahead 2-0 with a two-run homer in the third inning off Tommy Hunter (4-5). The Orioles twice ran themselves out of innings with poor decisions on the basepaths as they had a five-game winning streak stopped. Choo, Asdrubal Cabrera and Jason Kipnis all had two hits for Cleveland, which opens a key three-game home series Tuesday night against AL Central leader Detroit. The Indians trail the Tigers by four games. Choos homer was the 10th allowed by Hunter in his last seven starts and 20th this season. Baltimore cut the deficit to 2-1 with two outs in the fifth. Masterson hit Ryan Flaherty in the left foot with a pitch. Omar Quintanilla followed with an RBI double -- his first hit since being acquired from the New York Mets on Saturday. Quintanilla made his first start as manager Buck Showalter gave shortstop J.J. Hardy a rest. Hardy had a cortisone shot in his sore right shoulder before the All-Star break. Baltimore ran amok in the second and eighth. Adam Jones doubled to open the second. After Matt Wieters struck out, Jones strayed off second on a ball hit back to Masterson by Wilson Betemit and was caught in a rundown. The Indians threw the ball around like a hot potato, but eventually got Jones. It was scored 1-5-6-5-4-6. Not your everyday fielders choice. In the eighth, Nick Markakis hitt a one-out single, finishing Masterson. [url=http://www.worldsocceronlineshop.com/Tottenham-Hotspur-Fc-Jan-Vertonghen-Je... Vertonghen Tottenham Hotspur Jersey[/url]. Indians manager Manny Acta brought in hard-throwing Vinnie Pestano, but lefty swinging Endy Chavez lined a 2-2 pitch the other way into the left-field corner for a double. Markakis hustled around third base as left fielder Aaron Cunningham picked up the ball and threw to shortstop Cabrera. He appeared determined to score when third-base coach DeMarlo Hale suddenly threw up his hands as a signal to stop. Markakis did -- halfway between third and home. By then, catcher Carlos Santana had Cabreras relay throw in his mitt. He tossed to third baseman Jack Hannahan, who applied the tag to Markakis, who hung his head as he trotted to the Orioles dugout. Michael Brantleys bases-loaded single off reliever Troy Patton made it 3-1 in the bottom half.
