CLEVELAND -- Corey Kluber admitted there was an extra buzz in the Indians clubhouse before Sundays game against Oakland. Acquiring one of the best relievers can do that to a team.There was definitely a good vibe, Kluber said after limiting the Athletics to five hits over seven innings in an 8-0 win. You could tell there was a little more excitement than normal at 9 oclock in the morning.Clevelands postseason hopes received a boost by acquiring All-Star Andrew Miller from the Yankees for four prospects. Mike Napoli hit a two-run homer and the Indians completed a three-game sweep.Miller figures to become a setup man for closer Cody Allen.When you make moves like this, its exactly what you need, said second baseman Jason Kipnis, who drove in three runs. Its a jolt in the arm.The Indians also tried to acquire Jonathan Lucroy from Milwaukee, but the All-Star catcher refused to waive his no-trade provision.Kluber (10-8) struck out seven and walked two, retiring Max Muncy and Ryon Healy to strand runners on second and third in the seventh. He is 4-1 in his last seven starts.You try to put up as many zeroes as you can and the offense put up eight runs, so its a good day, Kluber said.Three relievers completed the six-hitter.Sonny Gray (5-10) gave up seven runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings for the As, who started 9-4 after the All-Star break before getting swept.Felt good about where we were, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. We ran into a buzz saw here.Following a 36-minute rain delay at the start, Cleveland went ahead in a five-run third that included Napolis homer, Kipnis two-run single and Francisco Lindors sacrifice fly.Napolis team-leading 24th home run this season was his 1,000th career hit. Lonnie Chisenhall, Tyler Naquin and Abraham Almonte each had two hits.Cleveland maintained a 4 1/2 game lead over Detroit in the AL Central and manager Terry Francona knows the Indians need production throughout lineup to stay on top.We need to be that kind of team where were getting contributions and not giving pitchers innings off, he said.Roberto Perez was 1 for 23 this season when Gray walked him in the third, loading the bases. Perez singled in a run in the fourth.NO LUCROYFrancona had no comment about Lucroys decision to veto the trade that would have given the Indians a much-needed boost behind the plate.I dont know the specifics of why he chose to use that no-trade, but he had that in his contract, so thats his right, Kluber said. As far as were concerned, well move forward with the guys we do have here.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: LHP Rich Hill (middle finger blister) could start Friday against the Chicago Cubs.

Brayden McNabb Jersey . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Scott Dixon has been the man to beat at Watkins Glen International since IndyCar began racing again at the historic road course just over a decade ago. He still is.Fastest in all three practices, Dixon topped the Fast Six on Saturday with a track-record-smashing time of 1 minute, 22.5259 seconds at 147.008 mph to win the pole for the Grand Prix at The Glen. It was Dixons second pole of the season and 25th of his career, tying him with Paul Tracy for 11th all-time, as he eclipsed Ryan Briscoes track record by more than five seconds in a penalty-filled affair.It was hairy, man, Dixon said. There was definitely a lot of chaos during qualifying with people getting pulled back out of the group that they had transferred into.Will Power, second in points to Team Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud, will start second, followed by Sebastien Bourdais, Helio Castroneves, Tony Kanaan, and Max Chilton.Pagenaud failed to make the final six for the first time this season and will start seventh. He leads Power by 28 points with two races left in the season.A year ago, Dixon captured his fourth IndyCar championship in stunning fashion. He won the season finale at Sonoma to snatch the title from Juan Pablo Montoya, overcoming a daunting 47-point deficit. That hes really not in the hunt this time -- Dixon is sixth in the standings, 132 points behind Pagenaud -- isnt so much fun.We had to have a lot of things go our way at Sonoma last year. You dont often see it transpire like that, Dixon said. They (Pagenaud and Power) are a lot closer. Wills starting five spots ahead of Simon, and Wills been a lot quicker all weekend. Its definitely going to go down to the wire. For us, its going to feel real strange.Other things to know about IndyCar qualifying at Watkins Glen International:PENALTIES, PENALTIESGraham Rahal, the winner last week at Texas, was sitting comfortably inside the top six in the first of three rounds of qualifying but was penalized for impeding Jack Hawksworths time and did not advance. He pleaded his case with IndyCar officials on pit road, to no avail.Im very disappointed with the ruling, said Rahal, who will start 20th. We obviously have a fast race car, but were going to have to put our heads down and try to come from behind. There is a lot of work to be done. We will give it all we can to try to come up with good strategy to help us make our way to the front.ddddddddddddRussian Mikhail suffered a similar fate. Comfortably in the final six, he was penalized for impeding Montoya and also had his two fastest laps taken away, too, giving Power the break he needed to advance.I did all I could in that situation. I knew he was behind me, Aleshin said. I moved to the right side and then they give me the penalty. Whats going on? They took two fastest laps, which were identical. I think thats not very fair, is it?James Hinchcliffe also was a victim. He initially advanced but lost his fastest lap because he spun and affected the progress of Power during the first session, allowing Aleshin to go on to the next round.RED OR BLACKTeams struggled to find the right balance with both the red and black tires on the newly paved surface at The Glen. The red compound is softer, grippier and usually faster, but on this day the harder compound in the blacks proved the better choice.Bourdais proved it with his top qualifying result of the season, but fellow Frenchman Pagenaud did not.I dont know what happened, Pagenaud said. Im trying to understand how we can go faster. We just missed it. It happens. Weve been struggling with speed. Its a new track and youve got to get used to it. Theres a very, very high commitment. Im pretty happy with where we are now. I think we can go racing.FRIENDLY REMINDERPower starts alongside Dixon on the front row, with Pagenaud three rows further back, and starts at Watkins Glen can be disastrous as drivers get aggressive trying to make passes when the green flag waves. Jeff Gordon won the pole here in 2003 for the NASCAR Cup race, was wrecked on the first turn of the race by Greg Biffle, and finished 33rd.Dixon said hed remind Power about whats at stake.Ill definitely remind Will before the race that hes got a lot more to lose than I have, Dixon said with a smile. You know, I think you can see that Will has evolved a lot, I think, as a driver, especially this championship.It was funny, we chatted at Road America about the runaway championship that Simon was having, and I was like, `You wait, man, its going to flip. One of us will be in the chase again to try and hunt him down.---AP Auto Racing Web Site: www.autoracing.ap.org ' ' '
