DETROIT -- The Cleveland Indians arent interested in coasting to the finish line.The American League Central Division champion Indians will wrap up their season series with the host Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon -- weather permitting -- before moving on to Kansas City to close out their regular season.Detroit winds up in Atlanta, where it will continue its fight for a wild card playoff berth in a National League city. That means Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will only be able to pinch-hit.But typical Midwest autumn weather could mess things up.Detroit and Cleveland managed to eke out five innings Wednesday night with the Tigers waiting 72 minutes to learn they had pulled out a 6-3 win thanks to Miguel Cabreras three-run home run through a hard rain with one out in the fifth.The weather forecast for Thursdays isnt much better.Ive learned to take forecasts with a grain of salt, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. Its an inexact science, much like bullpen usage.Everyone will do everything they can to avoid a rained out game because if it had playoff implications Cleveland would have to return to Detroit on Monday for a makeup.I know theyre going to try, manager Terry Francona of Cleveland said. If we dont play, wed have to come back here on Monday if need be. Im sure theyre going to try and play, even though the forecast isnt very good.If the game didnt have any ramifications you wouldnt play it, Ausmus said. That happened last year. We had a game rained out with Cleveland. We only played 161 games last year.If it had an impact on the playoff race, they would absolutely have to play the game.Francona is trying to line up his pitching and get his regulars tuned up for whatever playoff fate awaits them. Attaining the best record in the league for home field advantage throughout the playoffs is still a doable feat.We talked about it the other day as a team, kind of like how we wanted to approach it, Francona said. I understand that some guys need rest and thats what well do.On one hand it gives some of the younger guys a chance to play, which is good. But regardless of who plays or how much, you always play the game right.That way you dont have to concern yourself about (raising your level of play). You dont just turn the button on and off; thats hard to do. Then when it comes times for the playoffs to start, then you dont have to worry that you kind of went 80 percent, because thats hard to do.Detroit will start one of its precious young starters, left-hander Daniel Norris (3-2, 3.59 ERA) while Cleveland will send out one of its September call-ups, southpaw Ryan Merritt (0-0, 1.50 ERA).Merritt made 24 starts in Triple-A, going 11-8 with a 3.70 ERA. The 16th-round selection in the 2011 draft has been up with the Indians three times this season, pitching just six innings spread over three relief appearances with one run allowed.This will mark his first appearance against Detroit.Norris, on the disabled list twice this season, will be making his third start against Cleveland this season. He is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA against the Indians this year and 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA against Cleveland over three career starts. Cheap Nike Air Huarache Mens .

SAN FRANCISCO -- Yoenis Cespedes doesnt feel his timing is all back after a stint on the disabled list.But its hard to imagine its off that much, either.Cespedes hit two long home runs and added an RBI double in his second game back from the disabled list, boosting Bartolo Colon and the New York Mets over the San Francisco Giants 9-5 Saturday.The Mets had lost five of six before topping the team that began the day leading the NL West. The Giants dropped to 11-22 since the All-Star break.Cespedes, whod been out since Aug. 4 with a strained right quadriceps, drove in three runs. He has 24 homers this season.It was his show today, Mets second baseman Neil Walker said. He had a great day.The sluggers shot off Matt Moore (7-10) in the third inning went 457 feet, according to Statcast.com.Cespedes added a 418-footer off reliever Jake Peavy in the seventh.Today was a good day, I think for any ballplayer you could say today was an excellent day, Cespedes said through a translator. I cant say that the timing is 100 percent back, though. Well see what goes on next.The Mets are hoping that whats next for Cespedes is another second-half power surge, like the one he had last season that took them to the World Series.Hes the guy in the lineup who does a lot of the damage, so when hes there it makes it a little easier on the guys behind him and it takes the pressure off, Mets manager Terry Collins said. They kind of feed off what he does.Alejandro De Aza hit a three-run homer during a four-run sixth that stretched the Mets lead to 7-2.Colon (11-7) allowed two runs, scattering nine hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings. He has three quality starts in four outings this month and a 2.25 ERA in August.I think everything worked out well, Colon said through a translator. I was throwing a lot of sinkers, the ball out here moves a lot for me.Colons pitches hit the strike zone with pinpoint accuracy. On a day when the Mets needed the 43-year-old right-hander to go deep into the game with a bullpen taxed, he threw 103 pitches -- 73 for strikes.Hes not worried about lighting up the radar, hes worried about missing barrels, Walker said. It makes it difficult as a hitter when you have to cover a lot of the plate and thats what he does.Moore, acquired at the trading deadline from Tampa Bay to bolster the back end of the Giants rotation, is 0-3 with a 4.70 ERA in four starts with his new team.Moore gave up three earned runs and five hits in five innings. It was the first time in 13 outings he pitched less than six innings going back to June 2.Im not getting ahead of thee hitters and then Im losing them, he said.dddddddddddd I didnt do a very good job of managing the game with the 90 pitches they gave (me).Denard Span hit a splash home run off Colon into the San Francisco Bay in the third. The home run was Spans seventh and his second splash hit this season.Angel Pagan extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a bunt single in the first. The Giants outfielder exited after three innings with tightness in his right groin.BABY WATCHMets second baseman Neil Walker will fly to his home in Pittsburgh after Sunday nights game to be with his wife Niki for the expected birth of their baby girl. Walker said doctors will induce the birth on Monday night, a Mets off day. Walker said his wife is doing well. Its just been a big waiting game, Walker said.
