Jimenez, 3 homers lead Indians past Royals The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Ubaldo Jimenez struck out 10 in seven innings and Asdrubal Cabrera, Yan Gomes Indians 4 and Carlos Santana Royals 3 each hit solo homers, leading the Cleveland Indians to a win over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night in a matchup between two teams in the thick of the AL wild-card chase. The Indians, who won despite having only five hits, stayed even with Baltimore, 1½ games back of Tampa Bay for the second wild-card spot. The Royals dropped to four games behind the Rays. Jimenez (11-9) allowed one unearned run and didn’t walk a batter. The right-hander left with a 4-1 lead after throwing 99 pitches, but Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer off Cody Allen in the eighth.

The home skid was the Twins’ longest since moving from Washington in 1961. The Senators lost 10 straight home games in 1957.

Braves snap 4-game slide, top Marlins The Associated Press
MIAMI — Evan Gattis drove in two runs to highlight Atlanta’s highest-scoring inning in more than a Braves 5 month, and the Braves Marlins 2 snapped a four-game slide by beating the Miami Marlins on Monday night. Justin Upton, Freddie Freeman and Gattis all doubled to lead off what became a five-run fourth, Atlanta’s biggest inning since a five-run fifth against Philadelphia on Aug. 2.

Ricky Nolasco (13-9) won his seventh straight decision over eight starts as the Dodgers scored their first seven runs on the long ball. Uribe beat out an infield single to third base in the seventh against Heath Bell to drive in the Dodgers’ final run, capping his first four hit game since April 23, 2001, against Atlanta.
Emotional: 37th match against each other Continued from Page B-1 Djokovic, who owns six himself. “Whatever he achieved so far in his career, everybody should respect, no question about it.” Nadal no longer wears the strips of white tape he once did to bolster his left knee, and the way he covered the court against Djokovic — switching from defense to offense in a blink — proved that while he says he still feels pain in that leg, he definitely does not have problems moving around. These are the same two who played the longest Grand Slam final in history, a nearly six-hour struggle that left both needing to sit in chairs during the ceremony after Djokovic’s victory at the 2012 Australian Open. This time, when it ended with a forehand into the net by Djokovic, Nadal dropped to his back on the court, saluted by an Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd that included the Queen of Spain. Nadal was relentless from shot to shot, yes, and from point to point, too, but what might have been most impressive was the way he stayed steady when Djokovic recovered from a rough start and began asserting himself. At the outset, Djokovic was his own worst enemy on many points, a touch or two off the mark. Nadal claimed 12 of the

last 14 points in the first set, with Djokovic looking almost bored. The world saw this sort of listless, lackluster Djokovic two months ago in the final at Wimbledon, where Nadal had exited a Grand Slam tournament in the opening round for the only time in his career. That time, Djokovic went through a difficult semifinal — at 4:43, the longest in Wimbledon history — and barely put up much resistance in a straightset loss to Andy Murray two days later. In New York, Djokovic was coming off another four-hour semifinal victory, and the key stat in the first set Monday was that he made 14 unforced errors, 10 more than Nadal. There were no surprising or innovative tactics from Nadal. In the simplest of terms, he reached
nearly every ball Djokovic delivered, and Nadal’s replies nearly never missed the intended spot, accented by his huge uppercut of a swing and loud grunts
of “Aaaah!” By match’s end, Djokovic had made 53 unforced errors, Nadal only 20. “Credit to my opponent. He was making me run,” said Djokovic, who won the Australian Open in January and will remain No. 1 in the rankings despite Monday’s loss. “I had my ups and downs.” The Serb’s biggest ups came in the second set. Nadal was broken a grand total of once through his first six matches in the tournament — a string that reached 88 games by early in the final’s second set. But with Djokovic raising his level, and gaining control of more of the many extended exchanges, he broke Nadal three times in a row.

The Pirates (82-61) didn’t get a runner to second base against Darvish (12-8) until Marlon Byrd’s two-out double in the seventh. He came home when Pedro Alvarez followed with a double. Pittsburgh had lost a seasonhigh four games in a row since getting their 81st victory last Tuesday at Milwaukee to guarantee their first non-losing season in more than two decades. They finally have their winning season after taking the opener of a three-game interleague series between wild-card leaders.
