TORONTO -- The Cleveland Indians found out that they did not like to lose on Saturday when the Toronto Blue Jays beat them 9-6.It has been a long time since they experienced the losing feeling. It was June 15 when they lost 9-4 to the Kansas City Royals.Between losses they won 14 games, the longest winning streak in club history.Losing is hard, I dont care, Indians manager Terry Francona said after the game Saturday.The loss was only the seventh by the Indians in their last 30 games. Before the Blue Jays used a three-run eighth to beat them on Saturday, they had won eight in a row on the road as well.The Indians were down to the Blue Jays 3-1 and 5-3 and came back to gain a 6-5 lead.We showed a lot of what were about, catcher Chris Gimenez said. We got down a few times early in the game and were able to claw back. Especially after last night (a 2-1 win in 19 innings), I think it could have been easy for a lot of guys to just kind of throw in the towel and say, Hey, well get them tomorrow.I think it shows a lot of what this team is about. Weve got something special going on here.Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was impressed by the way both team played after the marathon on Friday.It was a big game, you could feel it, Gibbons said. Everybody was tired. Both teams were exhausted. A number of guys on both teams were down, things like that.But both teams put on a pretty good show. A good entertaining game. We needed that win more than they did.Gibbons and Edwin Encarnacion missed nearly all of the game Friday after being ejected because they argued balls and strikes in the first inning.Myself and Eeddie were the most rested guys on either team, Gibbons said.Encarnacion made his presence felt in the first inning Saturday with a three-run homer.The Indians will try to start a new winning streak Sunday when they send out right-hander Corey Kluber (8-7. 3.50 ERA) against Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ (10-3, 3.70 ERA).Both pitchers were 4-1 in June. The difference is how they did it. Kluber had a 2.19 ERA in five starts, holding opponents to a .154 batting average and a .194 on-base percentage.Happ had a 5.28 ERA in June.Kluber is 1-2 with a 4.82 ERA in three career starts against the Blue Jays.While the Indians have been surging, the Blue Jays have been hanging on. The win Saturday was only their fifth in the last 13 games,The Blue Jays will try to salvage a split of the series Sunday, and get two wins in a row.Josh Donaldson, who tied the game Saturday with a home run and singled in the go-ahead runs, is not fussy. He will take the wins where they come.Any win is important, no matter if youve won 14 in a row or lost 14 in a row, Donaldson said. Its major-league baseball, and its going to come down to the wire. Well take every win. Hydro Flask Coffee UK .

HOUSTON -- In the never-ending search for early-season trends that might serve as an indicator of long-term behavior, the Houston Rockets followed their fifth loss of the season on Wednesday night with a victory over the Portland Trail Blazers one evening later to avoid suffering their first losing skid on the season.The Rockets (7-5), with a new coach and reconfigured roster, remain in search of consistency. Yet, their ability to rebound from setbacks offers optimism, particularly this week given the disappointment that resonated after their come-from-ahead loss against Oklahoma City. Houston led by as many as 11 points before falling 105-103.Were still fairly new as a team, said Rockets guard James Harden, who followed a season-worst 13-point performance against the Thunder with his third triple-double of the season against Portland. Were still trying to figure each other out. As long as we can bounce back and continue to get better, continue to grow and learn from our mistakes, well be all right.Through victory and defeat the Rockets, who host the Utah Jazz (7-6) on Saturday at Toyota Center, are working to establish their identity. They fancy themselves as a space-and-pace outfit yet they rank a modest 14th in the NBA in pace at 97.2 possessions per 48 minutes. They are fifth in offensive rating and are coming off back-to-back games where seven and six players reached double figures in scoring.With the return of guard Patrick Beverley, Houston aims to improve defensively. What theyve shown through a dozen games is a willingness to work at everything.Were going to make some mistakes and we still have some improving to do, Rockets coach Mike DAntonni said.dddddddddddd As long as they come with that attitude every day and work at it and fix their mistakes, then good things will happen.Injuries continue to undermine the Jazz, who followed a successful five-game swing through the Eastern Conference with consecutive home losses. Utah went 4-1 before returning home and dropping games against the Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls, with the absences of guard George Hill (thumb) and forward Derrick Favors (knee) looming large.Weve had a lot of guys adjusting to injury, Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. Theres a lot of that going on.I dont want to overreact to one player playing poorly or our team playing poorly. That doesnt get you where you want to go.Without Hill, who has missed six games, the Jazz can appear rudderless. Utah was emboldened by the return of forward Gordon Hayward to open their road trip but Hill provides a veteran touch orchestrating the offense that isnt easily replaced.Second-year guard Dante Exum has started the last four games in place of Hill and over the previous six games is averaging nine points and two assists while shooting just 40.8 percent. Prior to his injury, Hill was averaging 20.4 points and five assists.Incidentally, Utah ranks dead last in the NBA in pace at 90.6 possessions per 48. Hill is questionable for a return against the Rockets, but with or without him Utah must find the rhythm it established on the road only to lose it back in Salt Lake City.Were going to go on this two-game road trip and hopefully get the best of that, Exum said.
