MIAMI -- Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona watched his team flail all night against Miami Marlins rookie Jose Fernandez and found a reason to be grateful. "Thankfully hes in the National League," Francona said. The Indians wont have to worry about Fernandez if they make the AL playoffs, but he ended their eight-game winning streak Friday, striking out 14 in eight innings to help the Marlins win 10-0. Fernandezs strikeout total was the highest by an NL pitcher this season. "Unfortunately for us, thats as good a start as I think weve seen all year," Francona said. Miamis All-Star right-hander became the first major league pitcher to strike out at least 13 in consecutive games since Randy Johnson in 2004. Hes the first rookie to do so since Kerry Wood in 1998. Fernandez (8-5) set a Marlins record for the most strikeouts in consecutive starts. He had 13 Sunday in a win over Pittsburgh. "Man, what a pitcher," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "He was on a mission. He went out against a great lineup and really just dominated." Fernandez pitched for the first time since turning 21 Wednesday and showed hes not yet over the hill, allowing just three hits. He struck out at least one batter in every inning and was still throwing 97 mph in the eighth. He also hit a sacrifice fly in the third for his fourth RBI this season. Fernandezs strikeout total was the most by a rookie since Stephen Strasburg of the Nationals had 14 in 2010. Hes the first NL rookie to strike out 10 in at least four games since Cole Hamels of the Phillies in 2006. "Im just trying to make good pitches," Fernandez said. "Im not trying to strike out people. Im not going out there saying, Ive got to strike out 20. Im not thinking about that." The Indians had outscored opponents 50-21 during the winning streak, so maybe they were due for a drubbing. Logan Morrison provided all the support Fernandez needed with four hits and four RBIs. Adeiny Hechavarria and Jake Marisnick each had three of the Marlins 16 hits, and a first-inning error by Cleveland shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera led to three unearned runs. "We lose the game in the first inning right there," Cabrera said. "That was a routine groundball. I just missed it." Fernandez walked the pitcher -- an especially egregious lapse against an AL team -- but that was the only base on balls he allowed. When he headed for the dugout after the eighth inning, he waved his cap to acknowledge a standing ovation from the crowd of 17,731. "I told him, You might have finished that game if you hadnt walked the pitcher," Redmond said with a grin. Fernandez, who doesnt have a complete game yet, threw a career-high 108 pitches before departing reluctantly for a pinch-hitter. He put on batting helmet in the bottom of the eighth even though he knew he was being lifted. "I was joking with Red," Fernandez said. "I said, Red, Im going out there. He said, No youre not!" Steve Ames had two strikeouts in the ninth to complete a three-hitter for the Marlins second consecutive shutout, and their fifth this season. Ubaldo Jimenez (8-6) needed 107 pitches to get through four innings. He allowed five runs, two earned, and that was no match for Fernandez, who lowered his ERA to 2.54. In the third inning Fernandez walked Jimenez, who has only one at-bat all season, but the rookie pitched around the mistake and retired the next 12 batters before Cabrera doubled in the seventh. Clevelands other hit was a single by Ryan Raburn in the eighth. Fernandez became the first Marlins pitcher to strike out 10 or more in consecutive games since Ricky Nolasco in 2008. "What hes doing and what he has done is special," Morrison said. "I told him in the dugout after he came out in the eighth that that was special. I hadnt seen anything like that." In the first inning, Cabrera mishandled a potential double-play grounder with one out. Morrison followed with an RBI double, Donovan Solanos groundout scored another run and Hechavarria hit a two-out RBI single. Christian Yelich hit his first major-league triple in the second inning and scored on Morrisons two-out single. Notes: Cabrera committed two errors and has six this season. ...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Nick Mangolds season is over -- and so might his tenure with the New York Jets.The star center was placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury Thursday after aggravating it during the Jets 41-10 loss to Indianapolis on Monday night.He was flying to North Carolina on Thursday to visit orthopedic specialist Dr. Robert Anderson to get another look at his sprained right ankle.Hes hurting pretty good, coach Todd Bowles said, adding that surgery could be an option.Depending on what the doctors say, Bowles said, Im sure it could be.The team decided to shut down Mangold, who will be replaced by Wesley Johnson at center. Johnson filled in as the starter for four games after Mangold initially injured his ankle against Baltimore on Oct. 23.The 32-year-old Mangold, a first-round pick in 2006 and the longest-tenured player on the team, is due nearly $6.075 million in base salary next year and the Jets could save $9.075 million on the salary cap by cutting him.Johnson is scheduled to be a restricted free agent after the season, but could be a younger -- hes 25 -- and cheaper option for the Jets.NFL Network first reported that Mangold would be done for the season. The Jets later confirmed that he was being placed on IR.Safety Doug Middleton, an undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State who had a solid training camp, will be promoted from the practice squad to take Mangolds spot on the active roster.The Jets also signed former Navy fullback Chris Swain to the practice squad. Swain had a touchdown run during the preseason for San Diego after being signed as an undrafted free agent.Mangold saw one of his best friends retire afteer last season in left tackle DBrickashaw Ferguson, who was also 32 and still productive.ddddddddddddBut Mangold recently said he has no intentions of retiring despite his injury-filled season.If anything, its made me want to play more so I can keep going, because Ive missed being out there, he said two weeks ago.Its probably going to make me linger on longer than my body will want me to. It gives you the thought that, hey, this game could be gone at any moment. So, youve got to enjoy the time that you get out there.Mangold played in 82 straight games to begin his career before being forced to sit out two games in 2011. He had missed only four games in his first 10 seasons and was selected to play in seven Pro Bowls.Mangold injured the ankle against the Ravens when a teammate rolled into his leg during a play.He spent some time in a walking boot and admitted to being overaggressive in his rehabilitation and suffered a setback. Mangold missed a few more weeks before getting back on the field on Monday night.He lasted 45 plays against the Colts before reinjuring the ankle. Bowles said Mangold was back in a boot after the game.Mangold joins a lengthy list of Jets players to land on IR this season, including quarterback Geno Smith, wide receiver Eric Decker, left tackle Ryan Clady, linebacker Julian Stanford, running back Romar Morris, tight ends Kellen Davis and Braedon Bowman, and defensive linemen Lawrence Thomas and Julien Obioha.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
