CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians on Sunday will attempt to complete a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels in Cleveland for the first time in 17 years. The Indians have won the first three games of the series while outscoring the Angels 32-8.The last time Cleveland swept a four-game series from the Angels in Cleveland was Aug. 30-Sept. 2, 1999.The Indians have dominated the first three games of this series, averaging more than 10 runs per game, and almost no-hitting the Angels in Saturday nights game. In the Angels 5-1 loss on Saturday, the Angels only hit was an infield single by Andrelton Simmons in the sixth inning. The Angels were outhit 14-1 in the game.In Sundays series finale, the Indians will send Trevor Bauer (8-5, 3.88 ERA) to the mound against the Angels Jered Weaver (8-9, 5.19). Bauer is coming off one of his best starts of the season in his last start on Aug. 9 in Washington. In that game, Bauer pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings on four hits.Sunday will be the southern California native Bauers fourth career start against the Angels. In the first three, he has gone 2-0 with a 2.38 ERA.The veteran Weaver has made 20 career starts against the Indians and is 9-5 with a 3.73 ERA. He has been particularly effective at Progressive Field, where in 12 career starts he is 7-2 with a 2.99 ERA.The Indians are expected to have designated hitter Carlos Santana back in the lineup on Sunday. Santana has missed the last two games after getting hit in the head by a line drive while sitting in the dugout during Thursdays game.Santana was given concussion tests on Friday, passed them all and was cleared to play Saturday, but manager Terry Francona decided to give Santana one more day off as a precaution.Hes been completely cleared to play and could have played tonight, Francona said before Saturdays game. I just felt another night off wouldnt hurt.Santana is having a big year for the Indians. With 25 home runs and 62 RBI hes headed for career highs in both categories. His career high for homers is 27 in 2011 and 2014. His career high in RBI is 85, done in each of the last two years.Santana and the Indians other hitters have done a good job of closing ranks after the loss of All-Star left fielder Michael Brantley, who has missed most of the season with complications in his rehab from offseason shoulder surgery.On Saturday, the Indians announced Brantley will have season-ending shoulder surgery on Monday. He only played 11 games this year, hitting .231, but the team hasnt missed a beat offensively, ranking second in the American League in runs scored.The Angels, meanwhile, would just like to win a game. Saturdays loss extended their losing streak to nine games. Thats their longest losing streak since they lost 11 in a row in July 1999.Angels starters have been clobbered in the first three games of the Cleveland series. The best of the three was Matt Shoemaker, who gave up five runs and 12 hits in six innings Saturday night.Scioscia would also like to see more out of his offense, which almost got no-hit on Saturday.I thought we hit a lot of balls hard, but you look up at the end of the game and we only had one hit, he said. We hit the ball better than the linescore looks. Asics Running Shoes Clearance Canada .

New schemes.Same ol results.For the better part of a decade, the Atlanta Falcons have been trying to figure out how to get more pressure on the other teams quarterback.Coming off a season with their lowest number of sacks since the 1980s, the shortcoming quickly cropped up again when the Falcons failed to bring down Jameis Winston in a season-opening loss to Tampa Bay.With four of the next five games on the road, Atlanta desperately needs someone -- Vic Beasley? Dwight Freeney? Anyone? -- to step up.We all want to get sacks, Freeney said. Thats what were here for. I dont care what it is. Our job is to try to get as many as possible.Since leading the NFL with 48 sacks in 2004, they have failed to crack the top 10. In recent years, theyve consistently finished near the bottom of the rankings.After placing 29th and 30th in Mike Smiths final two seasons as coach, the Falcons turned to Quinn with the idea that hed bring some of the aggressive attitude that worked so well when he served as coordinator of one of the leagues most fearsome defensive units in Seattle.The result: Atlanta managed only 19 sacks a year ago, finishing last in the league with the lowest total by the franchise since 1987 and the lowest by any team since the Jacksonville Jaguars recorded just 14 sacks in 2009, according to Pro Football Reference.In 2015, the Falcons drafted Beasley with the eighth overall pick to provide the sort of hybrid linebacker-defensive end who would give offensive linemen fits coming off the edge.But Beasley managed only four sacks as a rookie, still good enough to lead this teams minuscule output but hardly what Quinn was counting on.In Week 1 against the Bucs, the youngster didnt even show up on the stat sheet.Its fair to say I expect him to have a really big impact this year, the coach said, in what sounded like a bit of a warning.The Falcons did get five hits on Winston, but it wasnt enough to keep him from throwing for 281 yards and four touchdowns, including deep scoring plays that covered 45 and 30 yards.This year, the Falcons brought in the 36-year-old Freeney , who ranks among the NFLs career sack leaders, to provide a mentor to Beasley and some occasional pressure in a spot role.Desspite his age and playing only 11 games at Arizona last season, Freeney still brought down the quarterback eight times -- double what anyone managed in Atlanta.ddddddddddddFreeney, in what has become a familiar refrain on the Falcons, stressed that sacks are just one indicator of how much pressure a team is getting.If the quarterback happens to throw the ball quick, well guess what: I dont care how fast you think you are, youre not going to get there, he said. Its a little bit more complicated than, `Oh, no sacks, no pressure.But one couldnt help but notice that the Buccaneers -- where Smith is now the defensive coordinator -- sacked Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan three times last Sunday.They won the game, too, stamping themselves as a team on the rise in the NFC South.The Falcons, on the other hand, are a team that remains on the defensive as they travel to Oakland on Sunday to kick off a brutal five-week stretch against the Raiders (1-0).Quinn, in fact, sounds very much like his predecessor when facing many of the very same questions that bedeviled Smith during his seven years in Atlanta.The pass rush isnt totally made up of sacks. Its hits, its forced fumbles, Quinn said. But, he conceded, Sacks are definitely a factor, because you have an opportunity to get the ball out and they lose yards. Those are significant factors.The Falcons are definitely a faster, quicker team on the defensive side, which was one of Quinns top priorities, but it hasnt yet led to the sort of game-changing plays he talks about every week.One week into his second season, Quinn is not going to start bringing all-out blitzes on every play simply to get more sacks on the stat sheet. He remains confident that his scheme will work, especially as younger players such as Beasley and a pair of rookie starting linebackers, DeVondre Campbell and Deion Jones , get more experience.I knew wed have a challenge, Quinn said.
