NEW YORK -- Andrew Miller stood slim and tall on the Yankee Stadium mound, snapping off tight sliders as he protected a late lead the same as so many times before.The only thing out of the ordinary was the uniform he wore.Corey Kluber put Clevelands rotation back on track, Miller earned a save against the team that traded him last weekend and the Indians beat the New York Yankees 5-2 on Saturday.Its a lot easier just to focus on executing pitches when theres no relationship or anything like that, Miller said, sounding relieved. This last weeks been pretty hectic and, like I said, happy I survived and found a way.Mike Napoli, Jason Kipnis and Rajai Davis homered to help the AL Central leaders recover from an early two-run deficit.Kluber (11-8) fired eight innings of five-hit ball, beating CC Sabathia (6-9) in a matchup of pitchers who won the AL Cy Young Award with Cleveland.Miller closed with a one-hit ninth for his first save with the Indians. And lo and behold, it came at the expense of his old pals in pinstripes.None of it was fun, honestly. Its tough, Miller said. Its just a huge distraction, honestly.The lanky left-hander, acquired Sunday in a blockbuster deal, entered to a warm ovation at Yankee Stadium and promptly gave up Brett Gardners leadoff single. Jacoby Ellsbury and Mark Teixeira struck out on checked swings before Brian McCann grounded out to end it.It kind of took me back to my Boston days of facing that section of the lineup and pitching a lot here, Miller said. Im glad I got the job done.Millers previous nine saves this year came with New York.Its strange to see him in a different uniform, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. He was just here.With the Indians in dire need of a solid outing after five straight rocky starts, Kluber wobbled early on a muggy, soupy afternoon with a game-time temperature of 84 degrees.Yankees rookie Gary Sanchez lined an RBI double with two outs in the second and scored on a wild pitch that glanced off the mitt of catcher Roberto Perez.Kluber settled in from there, though, and struck out the 3-4-5-6 hitters in the third and fourth. The Yankees also ran themselves out of two chances in the middle innings -- including an embarrassing blunder by Gardner, who went tearing around second base on Ellsburys fly to medium right field and was easily doubled off first.Kluber struck out eight, walked one and threw 100 pitches in improving to 3-0 with a 1.46 ERA in his last five starts.He got things back in order, Indians manager Terry Francona said.Clevelands talented rotation, so effective all season, came in 0-4 with a 15.58 ERA this month. The team was outscored 50-32 overall in losing four of its previous five games.I think the bullpen probably needed a little bit of a break, but I didnt put any more pressure on myself than normal because of the last few games, Kluber said.I dont think the first 100 games or whatever were a fluke, he added. I dont think we have any doubt that guys are going to be back on track.Kipnis connected leading off the fourth for Clevelands first hit and is batting .478 (11 for 23) with four homers against the Yankees this year. Davis delivered a two-out RBI single in the fifth.Napoli broke the tie with an opposite-field solo shot off Sabathia in the sixth over the auxiliary scoreboard in right-center. It was Napolis team-leading 28th homer and sixth in the past eight games. He connected in five straight through Wednesday.Davis went deep against Anthony Swarzak in the seventh, and Kipnis drove in Davis with a ninth-inning single off Nick Goody.Sabathia was charged with three runs in 5 2/3 innings, dropping to 1-5 with a 6.62 ERA in his last nine starts.His command was a little off today, but he still gave us a pretty good shot to win, Girardi said.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: LF Brandon Guyer, acquired Monday from Tampa Bay, made his second start for Cleveland and was hit by a pitch on the left thigh. Guyer has been plunked 24 times this season, most in the majors. ... RHP Joe Colon (shoulder) was set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A.Yankees: 3B Chase Headley was rested in favor of rookie Ronald Torreyes, who started two inning-ending double plays in the first four innings. Headley lined out as a pinch-hitter for Torreyes in the eighth.BULLPEN SHUFFLEBoth teams brought up a new reliever before the game. Cleveland recalled TJ House from Triple-A Columbus and optioned fellow lefty Shawn Morimando to its top farm club. New York called up LHP Chasen Shreve from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and sent down RHP Johnny Barbato. Shreve struck out two in 1 1/3 scoreless innings.UP NEXTIndians RHP Carlos Carrasco (7-5, 3.12 ERA) starts the series finale Sunday against RHP Masahiro Tanaka (7-4, 3.46).

Tanaka, hit hard Tuesday by the Mets, is 0-2 with a 5.71 ERA in three career starts against Cleveland. Jake Odorizzi Jersey . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Tom Kelly Jersey .

"We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- The 2016 Scouting Grounds has come to a close, and Team Ocean, backed by Team Liquids braintrust head coach David Lim, top laner Samson Lourlo Jackson and jungler Joshua Dardoch Hartnett swept the best-of-three final against Team Cloud, which was headed up by Counter Logic Gamings head coach Tony Zikzlol Gray and captain Zaqueri Aphromoo Black.Both games were high-kill affairs with Team Cloud getting off to quick starts. The story was the same in Games 1 and 2: Omar OmarGod Amin, the first overall pick in the Scouting Grounds draft, would get ahead with his aggressive, brutish offensive style, and Cloud would amass a lead. Then, in the late-game, everything Cloud did for the first 20-to-25 minutes of the game would become meaningless, the team playing too forward and aggressive in attempts to put away the game. Team Oceans patience and late-game teamfighting sealed the victory and the tournament, and the last pick of the draft, Mr. Irrelevant, Bradley Vex Miller, was arguably the teams best player throughout the tournamment.ddddddddddddScouting Grounds was viewed by an intimate gathering of around 50 people, including some media, NA LCS professionals and members from Challenger clubs scouting for domestic talents. The two teams that did not make the final, Team Infernal (supported by Echo Fox) and Team Mountain (supported by Immortals), were also in attendance, taking in the action before having a final meet-and-greet with the remaining Scouting Grounds attendees.While from all indications from Riot Games, the players, and supporting teams suggest the event was a success and Scouting Grounds 2 could be even bigger and better, there is no official word on if the exhibition event will return for 2017.Grand Final Team Ocean 2 - 0 Team CloudStandings of Scouting Grounds Group Stage: Team Ocean (Team Liquid): 2-1 (5-2) Team Cloud (Counter Logic Gaming): 2-1 (5-3) Team Infernal (Echo Fox): 2-1 (4-3) Team Mountain (Immortals): 0-3 (0-6) ' ' '
