Price loses for first time with Jays as Indians win 4-2

Jerry Sands singled home the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, Salazar struck out 10 and the Cleveland Indians won their sixth straight game, beating the Blue Jays 4-2 on Monday night. Price came in with a 9-1 record and 2.04 ERA in 12 career starts against Cleveland, but lost for the first time since joining the Blue Jays on the eve of the trade deadline. Price (13-5) struck out nine, allowing three runs and six hits in seven innings. Salazar (12-7) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings, reaching double digits in strikeouts for the fifth time this season and the first time since fanning 10 against Baltimore on June 6. Raburn doubled home the tying run as the Indians matched their longest winning streak of the season and halted Toronto's run at four. Toronto's Edwin Encarnacion, who was named AL player of the week after batting .391 (9 for 23) with six home runs and 17 RBIs, extended his hitting streak to 26 games with a leadoff single in the sixth. Cleveland's Jason Kipnis hit a leadoff double in the first, moved to third on a fielder's choice and scored when Michael Brantley grounded into a double play. The Indians and Blue Jays met on the same day that Toronto announced it will hire longtime Cleveland executive Mark Shapiro as its next team president.
