MINNEAPOLIS -- When Danny Salazar departed the mound early, Mike Napoli flexed his muscle and Clevelands bullpen followed with a stifling performance.Thats the way a first-place team maintains a division lead down the September stretch.Napoli hit a mammoth home run on the first pitch of the fifth inning to put the Indians in front, and five relievers allowed only one hit over five scoreless innings in a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night to stay six games ahead of Detroit in the AL Central.It has to take all of us to do it. Im in a position where I can, at any time, change a game, and I know that. Im not going up there just trying to hit singles, Napoli said. But it starts with the guys ... to get us to that point.The Indians won for the ninth time in their last 11 games, despite the removal of Salazar after four innings due to tightness in his right forearm as a precaution. Salazar was on the disabled list for elbow inflammation a month ago, but manager Terry Francona said this issue was muscular and not structural.Well see how he feels and then well go from there, Francona said.Napolis drive off Tyler Duffey (8-11) landed in the third deck above left field three sections over from the foul pole.He was obviously sitting on it, Duffey said.The homer, Napolis 32nd, was estimated by the Twins at 456 feet.I cant even hit a golf ball that far, Francona said.That followed Byron Buxtons two-out, two-run homer that tied the game against Salazar in the fourth and glanced off the back wall of the Twins bullpen in left-center. The 22-year-old Buxton has five of his eight career home runs in the eight games since his recall from Triple-A on Sept. 1.Joe Mauer also went deep and Brian Dozier added an RBI double, but the Twins lost for the 23rd time in their last 29 games.The Indians scored four runs in the third inning against Duffey, whose low throw to second base on a comebacker by Francisco Lindor not only cost him a potential double play but contributed in a major way to the rally. Lonnie Chisenhall added a two-run double, and Tyler Naquin tacked on an RBI single.Salazar has not won in seven starts since July 19. One of the four runs the right-hander allowed was unearned due to a fielding error by second baseman Jason Kipnis on the speedy Buxtons bouncer, but his ERA after the All-Star break is still 7.44.Joe Colon (1-1) completed the fifth inning for the victory and Cody Allen finished the ninth for his 27th save in 30 attempts, as the Indians started their final stretch of 23 games, all intra-division affairs. Theyre only 9-8 against the Twins, who are on track for 100-plus losses.PERSONAL RECORDSNapoli already has a career high in home runs, and his latest long ball pushed his RBI total to 93, surpassing his previous career high set in 2013 with Boston. Napoli has three homers in the last five games.I feel a lot more comfortable, he said. I was going through periods where I was just trying to grind out at-bats until I could find it.FIELDING FLUBSThe Twins lead the league with 110 errors, already their highest season total in five years and on pace for their most since 1980. They made three highlight-reel plays, diving stops of grounders by Mauer at first and Miguel Sano at third and a sliding catch by Max Kepler in right, but the mistake by Duffey made a bigger impact.The errors are concerning, manager Paul Molitor said.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: Roberto Perez, sharing the catcher role with Chris Gimenez while Yan Gomes (separated shoulder) is working his way back on a rehab assignment, struck out a season-high three times.Twins: RHP Trevor May (back strain) and LHP Tommy Milone (biceps tendinitis) were reinstated from the DL before the game.UP NEXTThe Indians will send rookie RHP Mike Clevinger (2-2, 5.30 ERA) to the mound for the middle game of the series. His seventh major league start will come against LHP Hector Santiago (11-8, 4.91 ERA), who in his last turn recorded off his first victory for the Twins in six starts since arriving by trade.J.J. Watt Texans Jersey .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Andre Johnson Youth Jersey . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. http://www.officialhoustontexanspro.com/Tytus-howard-texans-jersey/ . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming. Lonnie Johnson Youth Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. J.J. Watt Womens Jersey . During the athletes parade, the 23-strong Ukrainian team was represented by a lone flagbearer in an apparent protest at the presence of Russian troops in Ukraines Crimean peninsula.Forget leaving the porch light on, light up the entire village.Shane Flanagan has urged his team to embrace the hype after they took an almighty step towards breaking the clubs premiership drought with a stirring qualifying final comeback win over Canberra on Saturday.Already down on form and without injured skipper Paul Gallen, Flanagans men also overcame the early loss of vice-captain Wade Graham and a 12-0 deficit to register one of the famous wins in the clubs history.More importantly, the victory lifted them to within 80 minutes of this years NRL grand final, with the winner of next weeks North Queensland-Brisbane semi final the only hurdle left in their way.Its a stunning turnaround for a side that limped into the finals with one win in their past six games.But as they await their next opponent, Flanagan told his team to inhale the rarified air that is set to consume the Shire over the next fortnight as expectations build on a maiden NRL premiership.I was always told not to worry about things you cant control and I cant control that (hype), Flanagan said after the win.I think we need to enjoy it. Being a grand final qualifier, it doesnt come around too often.The playeers need to get a feel for it but in the end, Ive got a pretty smart footy team in there thats been around.dddddddddddd They wont get caught up in the hype of being in the game and theyll concentrate on the game.The Sharks have reached the grand final qualifier on six occasions over their 49-year history.Only three times have they gone on to feature in the big one, including the 1997 Super League competition.But not once have they hoisted the trophy at the end.Flanagan backed the experience of his senior men - six of whom have appeared in grand finals before - to ensure the rest of the team isnt overawed by the occasion.Ben Barba, Michael Ennis, Chris Heighington, Luke Lewis, James Maloney and Matt Prior have all played on the first Sunday in October, winning a combined four premierships.Thats really important for us, having senior players, to enjoy the week, enjoy the hype, and know that its one week away from a grand final, Flanagan said.But knowing that theres a game of footy still to be played and making tackles and making runs still counts.
