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 gd 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 bst 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- 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 gd 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 gd 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 bst 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 RMAthletics: LHP Rich Hill (middle finger blister) could start Friday against the Chicago Cubs.

Rick Martin Sabres Jersey . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players. Soccers players will not be asked to mute any goal celebrations against Thailand over the death of the countrys king.Thailand was plunged into a 30-day period of mourning following King Bhumibol Adulyadejs passing last month, prompting initial disruptions to Tuesday nights World Cup qualifier.After an early request to move the game to a neutral venue, the Ftball Association of Thailand (FAT) agreed to host the Group B tie on November 15 as scheduled, on the condition fans refrain from singing, cheering and drumming.However the restrictions were subsequently relaxed on the basis the match falls one day after the official mourning period ends on November 14.Supporters would be allowed to bring banners and instruments and sing cheering songs and appropriately conduct joyful activities.What is considered appropriate remains open to interpretation.But while both teams will wear black armbands as a sign of respect, Postecoglou signalled he had no intention of instructing his players to sway from their usual match routine or celebrations on the pitch.The game needs to run normally, and from our intent it will be, Postecoglou said.The information we have is that the game will run normally so Im not going to try and manufacture something in the game or the context to reflect the circumstances of the game.ddddddddddddIts been sanctioned to go ahead, so it goes ahead.A couple of thousand fans have made the trip from Australia, and coupled with a large expat community the match is expected to get the biggest turnout of any of the Soccers away qualifiers.In terms of supporters its been well-documented, the expectations, Postecoglou said.Id be very surprised if the supporters arent respectful of that.We travel throughout the region and more often than not the supporters are well-behaved.Postecoglou was reluctant to call it a must-win game despite the implications the result could have on the second-placed Soccers group standing.He was more focused on his team producing the right type of performance.We knew the first five games would be really tough because we had two trips to the Middle East plus this away game, and one of our home games against Japan, Postecoglou said.If we play well and claim maximum points well be on 11 points from five games.Regardless of what the others do well be in a gd position with three home games next year plus Iraq at a neutral venue - so weve only really got one away game in the back half.Well let the others fight it out.
