CLEVELAND -- Yan Gomes made sure the Indians went into the All-Star break on a positive note. Gomes drove in all three runs, including a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning, and Cleveland rallied for a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Gomes blast to right off Javy Guerra (0-2) came after the White Sox scored two runs in top of the inning to take a 2-1 lead. Nick Swisher led off with a single before Gomes, who also had an RBI single in the second, hit a 1-1 pitch into Chicagos bullpen. Gomes, who threw his arms in the air as he rounded first base after his 12th homer of the season, wasnt trying to do anything dramatic. "I was just trying to do the same thing Swish did, and just get a hit," he said. "I definitely wasnt thinking about doing hitting a home run." "Im thrilled for him, because he was a little under the weather today, but he didnt want to come out of the game," Indians manager Terry Francona said. Guerra admitted he didnt make a good pitch. "A slider, came out, wasnt a very good one," he said. "(Gomes) did what he was supposed to. Broken-bat base hit to left, next guy hits a homer. Its just bad luck. Bad inning." Bryan Shaw (4-1) allowed two runs in the top of the eighth. Cody Allen pitched the ninth for his 12th save, striking out the final two hitters. Trevor Bauer struck out a career-high 10 in 6 2-3 scoreless innings for Cleveland. Gordon Beckhams RBI single tied the game before Leury Garcias hit to centre put Chicago ahead, but the White Sox couldnt hold the lead for their fourth loss in five games. The Indians head into the All-Star break with a 47-47 record. "I wish our record was better, but in the next two months, if we play good baseball its going to be very exciting," Francona said. "Its in front of us now and if we can play well, we can climb back into it and play relevant games at the end." John Danks allowed one run in seven innings. The White Sox threatened throughout the game, but didnt score until the eighth. Conor Gillaspie singled with one out, took second on a wild pitch and scored on Beckhams single up the middle. After a groundout, Garcia sent a roller to the right side. Second baseman Jason Kipnis tried to make a backhand stop near the bag, but the ball went under his glove and rolled into centre field. Bauer allowed eight hits and had at least one base runner in every inning, but pitched out of trouble each time. The right-hander was pulled after All-Star Jose Abreus two-out single in the seventh, but Marc Rzepczynski retired Adam Dunn. White Sox All-Star shortstop Alexei Ramirez was out due to a stiff back, but is expected to play in Tuesdays All-Star game in Minneapolis. The loss sent Chicago into the break with a 45-51 record. "Weve had spurts where we play well, weve had spurts where we didnt play that well, but weve had a lot of games that we could have won that we didnt win," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "You wish you were in a better spot, but you come back and try and clean that stuff up." Bauers first career outing against Chicago last season didnt work out well. He allowed five runs while recording only two outs, but the Indians rallied for a 19-10 victory. Bauer more than made up for that Sunday. His biggest jam came in the sixth. Dayan Viciedo singled and Gillaspie walked to start the inning, but Gordon Beckham struck out. Gomes quickly fielded Tyler Flowers tapper in front of the plate and his throw to third forced Vicideo. Bauer ended the inning by striking out Garcia. Chicago had three hits in the second, but didnt score. Gillaspie led off with a single, but was doubled off first when Mike Aviles made a strong throw from left field after catching Beckhams foul fly ball. Garcia followed with a single, but Alejandro De Aza flied out. Abreu, who made the All-Star team in his rookie season, was 3 for 5. He goes into the break with a major league-leading 29 homers and is hitting .292.

CLEVELAND -- Not even the polar vortex could cool off C.J. Miles. While Cleveland was frozen to its core by an arctic blast of sub-zero temperatures, Miles put on a blistering performance, making a team record 10 3-pointers and scoring a season-high 34 in leading the Cavaliers to a 111-93 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. Miles made eight 3s in the first half, when the Cavs opened a 26-point lead that allowed them to coast to a rare easy win. He notched his record-breaking ninth 3 with 9:53 left and drained No. 10 with 9:17 remaining. He went 10 of 14 outside the arc. "I got some clean looks," Miles said. "Im still mad because there were a couple that I thought I could have made. But my teammates looked for me and set some screens that allowed me to get open, and all I had to do was get my feet set." Clevelands second victory in 10 games came hours after the club acquired forward Luol Deng from Chicago in a trade for centre Andrew Bynum and future draft picks. Deng wasnt in uniform, but Cavs All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving returned after missing three games with a bruised left knee and finished with 16 points and eight assists in 30 minutes. Sixers rookie Michael Carter-Williams scored a season-high 33, but Philadelphia couldnt stop Miles. "When somebody like that is rolling you have to be aware of where he is every second," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. "He got away from us. You give him credit, but we didnt get the job done on him defensively." Philadelphias Thaddeus Young, the reigning Eastern Conference player of the week, missed all seven of his shots and didnt score in 21 minutes. Evan Turner wasnt much help, scoring four points on 2 of 13 shooting. Anderson Varejao added 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Cavs, who had lost several close games over the past two weeks but enjoyed their most lopsided win this season. Miles helped them locked this one up early. His eight 3s in the first half tied a franchise mark he owned with three others and he was taking aim at the league record of 12 shared by Kobe Bryant (2003) and Donyell Marshall (2005). Miles missed his only 3 in the third, but returned in the fourth and knocked down two 3s in a span of 36 seconds to give the Cavaliers a 101-72 lead, rewriting the teams record book. Cavs coach Mike Brown left Miles in, but he misssed a 3 with 7:43 left and was replaced moments later.dddddddddddd Miles untucked his Jersey as he walked off the floor and received a loud ovation as he was welcomed to the bench by smiling, high-fiving teammates. "We called his number quite a lot tonight," Brown said, "and our guys were finding him on their own. For us, it was real beautiful basketball to watch." The Sixers, who gave up 16 3-pointers and 126 points in a loss to Minnesota on Monday, were slow in their defensive rotations and left Miles wide open. He made them pay. Miles drained four 3s in the final 2:39 of the first quarter and made his first six attempts from long range before missing twice on one possession. But he quickly regained his stroke, and his eighth 3 gave Cleveland a 64-38 lead. "They looked for me," Miles said. "They ran some plays for me. Kyrie called some plays. Coach called some plays. The big guys screened for me, and they got me open. All I had to do was be square to the basket and everything else was just like in practice." Playing their fifth game in seven days, the Sixers were down 23 at halftime and never put a run together to challenge the Cavs. Philadelphias perimeter defence was awful and has been a problem all season. Brooklyns Joe Johnson knocked down 10 3s against the Sixers last month. Brett Brown pulled starters Young, Turner and Spencer Hawes early in the third and they didnt return. "It was flogging a dead horse," he said. "It wasnt going to happen. Our guys werent going to find anything extra. You could just see it their body language and their eyes." NOTES: Miles 14 3-point attempts were a club record. ... The Cavs start a five-game, West Coast trip in Utah on Friday. ... Deng reportedly rejected a three-year, $30 million extension from the Bulls last week, hastening his exit. Hes eligible for free agency this summer, but the Cavs control his Bird rights and can offer him more money than anyone else. Its possible theyll offer him an extension. "This is a big transition for him and helping him settle in is important," general manager Chris Grant said. "Once we get through all that then we can sit down and talk about what the future looks like." ... The Sixers waived backup C Daniel Orton. ... Sixers G Tony Wroten (flu) didnt make the trip. He also missed Mondays game. wholesale stitched Jerseys wholesale Jerseys wholesale nfl Jerseys cheap nfl Jerseys cheap nfl Jerseys china ' ' '
