Louis 5, Philadelphia 0 AROUND THE HORN Rivera breaks saves record: Mariano Rivera stood by himself, in the center of the diamond at Yankee Stadium. For once, the great closer wasn't sure what to do next. So he smiled, blew a kiss to the crowd, and then doffed his cap as cheers washed over him following the record 602nd save of his career. "Oh, my God, for the first time in my career, I'm on the mound alone," said Rivera, 41. "It was priceless.
I didn't know it could be like that." Rivera pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out Chris Parmelee on what appeared to be his signature cut fastball to end the New York Yankees' 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Fans from the smallest crowd in the Stadium's three-year history stood and shouted from Rivera's first pitch to his last as.he retired Trevor Plouffe, Michael Cuddyer and Parmelee in order and broke Trevor Hoffman's mark. It's a remarkable achievement, considering the slender right-hander throws mostly one pitch. Opposing hitters have seen it for years but still haven't figured it out. "It's amazing," Cuddyer said.
"You've got a 99 percent chance of knowing what's coming, and he still is able to go out there and dominate." The only person who might not acknowledge Rivera isn't the best closer of all time is Rivera himself. "You know me, I'm not like that," he said. "I like to be under the radar, do my job." Hoffman said in a statement: "I want to congratulate Mariano Rivera on setting the all-time saves record. It's a great accomplishment and he is still going strong!" Aches and palns: Red Sox left fielder Carl Crawford was scratched from the starting lineup of the first game because of a stiff Righthander Kerry Wood's first season back with the Cubs is over because of a tear in his left knee. The 34-year-old ex-Indian will have arthroscopic surgery.
Information on this page compiled from Plain Plain Dealer Breaking news: cleveland.com Tuesday, September 20, 2011 INDIANS INSIDER 3 Confident Chisenhall is hitting better DENNIS MANOLOFF Dealer Reporter. Major-league hitters can work on swing mechanics until their fingers bleed, but none of it matters without confidence. 1 If a hitter is tentative in the box, the pitcher likely will own him. Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall said he is a more confident hitter than he was a month ago. 'Hits have resulted.
Chisenhall is 15-for-48 in his past 11 games, including 1-for-3 Monday in the Tribe's 12-6 loss to Seattle at Progressive Field. "My swing feels good, and. I feel good physically," Chisenhall said, "but the main thing is, I'm being more aggressive. I know what I want to do at the plate, and I'm not being timid." Chisenhall is hitting .246 in 59 major-league games. He made his debut June 27 amid much hype.
"He has some learning and adjustments to do, but it's a matter of time," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "Sometimes people forget this guy was in Akron last year. He's only 22 years old. That's a fifth-year senior in college." Against lefties, Chisenhall is 10-for-43 (.233) but has hit five of period. He has a very good swing.
It's short and compact. He's 1 not a guy bailing or leaking out the front side or anything like Chisenhall turns 23 on Oct. 4. Supermannahan: Acta said infielder Jack Hannahan (left calf) was available off the bench Monday and likely will return to the lineup today. Hannahan exited a game Sept.
41 because of the calf. "I'm ready to go," Hannahan said. "The calf feels great." Hannahan has hit in 15 of his past 19 games, going 24-for-63 (.381) with three homers and 14 RBI. -rig Tomlin close: Right-hander Josh Tomlin, recovering from a sprained elbow ligament, will throw a simulated game today. If all goes well, Acta' said, Tomlin will start one of the two games against the Twins on Saturday at Progressive Field.
Tomlin is scheduled to throw five innings, or 80 pitches. Tomlin has been on the disabled list since Aug. 26, retroactive to Aug. 25. He is 12-7 with a 4.25 ERA in 26 starts.
"We're not in the business of shutting a guy down just because he was hurt," Acta said. "It's not like we need to see him one more time this 10-for-43 (.233) but has hit five of need to see him one more time this his seven homers. "I don't foresee him struggling down the road against lefties," Acta said. "We see him as a hitter, surgery Aug. 31 removed the hook of the hamate bone.
"At this point, less than three weeks out, I couldn't be happier," he said. "There's no brace, no cast. The strength is coming back. The only things that remind me I had surgery are the stitches. "Without a doubt, I will be 100 percent ready for spring training." Doctors have told Brantley, who plays left field or center field, that he will have no restrictions going forward.
No bologna: Mariners third baseman Alex Liddi, a native of Italy, hit a two-run homer off Tribe; lefty David Huff in the second inning. Liddi notched his first major-league homer and RBI. Liddi is the first graduate of the Major League Baseball European Academy to play in the majors. He is the first Italian-born and developed player to appear in the majors, the seventh Italian (previous: Remo Bertoia, 1962). TONY DEJAK I ASSOCIATED PRESS The Tribe's Carlos Santana makes a historic home run trot in the first inning at Progressive Field Monday.
His 26th home run broke Victor Martinez's club record for homers in one season by a switch hitter. All good: A smiling Michael Brantley was in the Tribe clubhouse before the game. Brantley is thrilled with the progress of his right hand since Finally: Right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez, who starts Wednesday against White Sox lefty Mark Buehrle, is 3-1 with a 2.78 ERA in his past five starts. season, but if he's good to pitch, why not? We think he's fine, and he wants to pitch. We don't think there's a risk."
