MINNEAPOLIS -- When Danny Salazar departed the mound early, Mike Napoli flexed his muscle and Clevelands bullpen followed with a stifling performance.Thats the way a first-place team maintains a division lead down the September stretch.Napoli hit a mammoth home run on the first pitch of the fifth inning to put the Indians in front, and five relievers allowed only one hit over five scoreless innings in a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night to stay six games ahead of Detroit in the AL Central.It has to take all of us to do it. Im in a position where I can, at any time, change a game, and I know that. Im not going up there just trying to hit singles, Napoli said. But it starts with the guys ... to get us to that point.The Indians won for the ninth time in their last 11 games, despite the removal of Salazar after four innings due to tightness in his right forearm as a precaution. Salazar was on the disabled list for elbow inflammation a month ago, but manager Terry Francona said this issue was muscular and not structural.Well see how he feels and then well go from there, Francona said.Napolis drive off Tyler Duffey (8-11) landed in the third deck above left field three sections over from the foul pole.He was obviously sitting on it, Duffey said.The homer, Napolis 32nd, was estimated by the Twins at 456 feet.I cant even hit a golf ball that far, Francona said.That followed Byron Buxtons two-out, two-run homer that tied the game against Salazar in the fourth and glanced off the back wall of the Twins bullpen in left-center. The 22-year-old Buxton has five of his eight career home runs in the eight games since his recall from Triple-A on Sept. 1.Joe Mauer also went deep and Brian Dozier added an RBI double, but the Twins lost for the 23rd time in their last 29 games.The Indians scored four runs in the third inning against Duffey, whose low throw to second base on a comebacker by Francisco Lindor not only cost him a potential double play but contributed in a major way to the rally. Lonnie Chisenhall added a two-run double, and Tyler Naquin tacked on an RBI single.Salazar has not won in seven starts since July 19. One of the four runs the right-hander allowed was unearned due to a fielding error by second baseman Jason Kipnis on the speedy Buxtons bouncer, but his ERA after the All-Star break is still 7.44.Joe Colon (1-1) completed the fifth inning for the victory and Cody Allen finished the ninth for his 27th save in 30 attempts, as the Indians started their final stretch of 23 games, all intra-division affairs. Theyre only 9-8 against the Twins, who are on track for 100-plus losses.PERSONAL RECORDSNapoli already has a career high in home runs, and his latest long ball pushed his RBI total to 93, surpassing his previous career high set in 2013 with Boston. Napoli has three homers in the last five games.I feel a lot more comfortable, he said. I was going through periods where I was just trying to grind out at-bats until I could find it.FIELDING FLUBSThe Twins lead the league with 110 errors, already their highest season total in five years and on pace for their most since 1980. They made three highlight-reel plays, diving stops of grounders by Mauer at first and Miguel Sano at third and a sliding catch by Max Kepler in right, but the mistake by Duffey made a bigger impact.The errors are concerning, manager Paul Molitor said.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: Roberto Perez, sharing the catcher role with Chris Gimenez while Yan Gomes (separated shoulder) is working his way back on a rehab assignment, struck out a season-high three times.Twins: RHP Trevor May (back strain) and LHP Tommy Milone (biceps tendinitis) were reinstated from the DL before the game.UP NEXTThe Indians will send rookie RHP Mike Clevinger (2-2, 5.30 ERA) to the mound for the middle game of the series. His seventh major league start will come against LHP Hector Santiago (11-8, 4.91 ERA), who in his last turn recorded off his first victory for the Twins in six starts since arriving by trade.

The Warriors reached an agreement with swingman Andre Iguodala on a $48 million, four-year deal Friday, two people with knowledge of the situation said. The people spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because NBA rules prevent confirmation of moves until July 10. One person said the Warriors cleared more than $24 million in salary cap space by sending Richard Jefferson, Andris Biedrins and Brandon Rush to the Utah Jazz along with a package of draft picks. Yahoo Sports, which first reported the deal, said the Warriors were only taking back Kevin Murphy and his non-guaranteed $788,000 deal for next season. Utah also will receive multiple draft picks from Golden State, including its 2014 and 2017 first-round picks. While the Warriors had hoped to sign Dwight Howard, the seven-time All-Star centre informed the team he would not sign with them. Howard wrote on Twitter a few hours later that the Houston Rockets are "the best place for me." Instead, Golden State unloaded its expiring contracts for what it believes was the next best player on the market. The complicated moves give the rejuvenated franchise, fresh off an appearance in the second round of the playoffs and with a stockpile of promising young talent, a potent scorer and perimeter defender to team with point guard Stephen Curry and company. And for Iguodala, its a chance to play with another contender. Iguodala averaged 13 points, 5.4 assists and 5.3 rebounds last season for the Denver Nuggets, who lost in six games to the Warriors in the opening round of the playoffs. He spent his first eight years in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers and has averaged 15.1 points on 46 per cent shooting for his career. The Nuggets were hoping to entice Iguodala to come back to the Mile High City, especially because he could return on a five-year deal while the most he could get elsewhere was four years. The Nuggets offered Iguodala a five-year contract worth $60 million with $52 million guaranteed, a person familiar with the situation said, adding that Iguodala wouldve made only $4 million in the final year of the frontloaded deal. Sacramento, led by new general manager and former Denver executive Pete DAlessandro, also sought Iguodalas services. The Kings reportedly offered Iguodala a four-year deal worth at least $52 million but pulled the offer when Iguodala didnt immediately agree, in part, because they didnt want to be ussed as leverage.dddddddddddd The departure of Denvers top defender could be a big blow to a team that won a franchise-best 57 games during the regular season only to flop in the first round again. This already had been a tumultuous off-season for the Nuggets, who had NBA Executive of the Year Masai Ujiri leave to take over as general manager in Toronto. Later, the team severed ties with Coach of the Year George Karl. A few Nuggets players turned to Twitter to express their feelings on Iguodalas decision to bolt for the Warriors. "It was a pleasure. Great guy!" forward Wilson Chandler wrote. Speedy point guard Ty Lawson said: "Smh!!!!" (shaking my head) and later added, "Business is business." Iguodala even sent a message to Curry that ended with the phrase, "LETS GET IT!!!!" Curry responded by saying it would be a great four years. On the flip side, the biggest boon for Utah might be three veterans with expiring contracts, which will give the Jazz tons of space when a slew of top free agents hit the open market next summer. Jefferson is due about $11 million, Biedrins $9 million and Rush $4 million in the final year of their deals. While production from Jefferson and Biedrins has declined substantially, Rush was considered Golden States top reserve and perimeter defender until he tore a ligament in his left knee in the home opener. Rush has averaged 9.1 points and 3.6 rebounds since he was drafted 13th overall out of Kansas in 2008 by Portland, which immediately traded him to Indiana. "Only makes me work harder," Rush tweeted. The Warriors had been chasing Iguodala for years, but the right move never came together until now. General manager Bob Myers had said all along that despite the teams perceived salary cap restrictions that a big-time free agent could be signed this summer. The Warriors also will renounce their rights to restricted free agent guard Jarrett Jack to clear space for Iguodala -- a price they believe is more than enough for his addition, which could push standout rookie Harrison Barnes into a reserve role, albeit a leading one. Jack had helped the Warriors go from a 23-43 team during the lockout-shortened season to a 47-35 team last year, earning the conferences sixth seed and upsetting Denver in the first round. But mounting injuries wore the Warriors down and the eventual Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs sent Golden State home in six games. "Well," Jack wrote on Twitter, "it was fun while it lasted."
