(AP) — Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion are back together again and got a chance to celebrate a home run like old times in Toronto.Donaldson went hitless in his Cleveland debut, Encarnacion reached 30 homers for the seventh straight season and the Indians beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-0 on Tuesday night.Donaldson was on-deck when Encarnacion went deep and the pair exchanged a high-five afterward.“We try and have fun out there,” Encarnacion said. “It’s good to have him back in the same lineup together.”Cleveland lowered its magic number to three for a third straight AL Central title. Second-place Minnesota was hosting the New York Yankees.Acquired from Toronto on Aug. 31, Donaldson went 0 for 4 in his first big league game since May 28, a layoff caused by a strained left calf. The 2015 AL MVP flied out to deep center and deep right, struck out and grounded into a forceout. The third baseman made a nifty backhand grab on C.J. Cron’s sixth-inning grounder.“He looked to me like Donaldson,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “He took some ferocious swings, and he was on so many pitches. He squared up a couple and had nothing to show for it. He’s got time and it gets exciting.”Jose Ramirez moved from third to second, and second baseman Jason Kipnis moved to center.Yan Gomes also homered and rookie Shane Bieber (10-3) struck out a career-high 11 in 6 2/3 innings, allowing three hits and three walks.Tampa Bay had its franchise record 12-game home winning streak end and lost for just the fourth time in 21 games overall.The Rays dropped to 8 ½ games behind Oakland for the second AL wild card with 18 games remaining. The teams will meet in a three-game series this weekend.“The odds are against us but I’m very excited,” Rays ace Blake Snell said. “This team is special.”Gomes homered in the fifth and Encarnacion in the sixth against Tyler Glasnow (0-4), who allowed six hits in seven innings.Encarnacion http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-dustin-pedroia-jersey , Ramirez (37) and Francisco Lindor (34) are the fifth trio of Indians to reach 30 homers in the same season.“It’s unbelievable, something I never expected to happen,” Encarnacion said of his streak. “I’m proud of what I’ve been doing.”Bieber allowed three hits and three walks. Brad Hand relieved with two on and two outs in the seventh, walked pinch-hitter Matt Duffy, then fell behind Mallex Smith 3-0 before getting him to pop out on a full-count pitch.“That was rough for about eight pitches but he fights his way back,” Francona said.Cody Allen pitched a one-hit ninth, completing a four-hitter for his 27th save in 32 chances.Tampa Bay’s Tommy Pham singled in the first and has a career-best 15-game hitting streak.Rays manager Kevin Cash was ejected in the eighth for arguing a balk called on Vidal Nuno.SETTING UP THE ACEThe Indians will skip 18-game winner Corey Kluber’s start this weekend to give him a couple extra days off to get lined up for the playoffs.NUMEBRSBieber is 6-0 in 10 road starts. … Cleveland pitchers have 29 strikeouts, including 13 Tuesday, through the first two games of the series.TRAINER’S ROOMIndians: RHP Trevor Bauer (right fibula stress fracture) is to throw off a bullpen mound Wednesday. … RHP Cody Anderson (right elbow surgery) made 27 pitches over two-thirds of an inning for Double-A Akron against New Hampshire in Game 1 of the Eastern League Championship Series.Rays: CF Kevin Kiermaier (illness) was out of the lineup for the second consecutive game but was in the on-deck circle when the game ended. … RHP Jose Mujica had Tommy John surgery.UP NEXTIndians: RHP Carlos Carrasco (16-8) starts Wednesday.Rays: Snell (18-5) seeks to take over the big league lead in wins after going 5-7 last season. “It’s amazing how much better he’s gotten in one year,” Francona said. DETROIT (AP) — For Kevan Smith and the Chicago White Sox, this home run was particularly special.Smith used his custom uniform Saturday night to honor Daniel Webb, the former Chicago reliever who died in an ATV accident last October . In the second inning Carl Yastrzemski Jersey , Smith connected for his first homer of the season, and the White Sox went on to win 6-1 over the Detroit Tigers.“There’s just been a lot of things that’s happened in my life, since the accident. It was almost like in the back of my head — like, wow, what if like I hit a home run here?” Smith said. “And oh my gosh, it happens. Just felt like I was going to start crying, running around the bases.”Major leaguers have been wearing nicknames on the backs of their jerseys for Players’ Weekend, and “WEBBY” was Smith’s choice. His two-run shot in the second gave Chicago a 3-0 lead.“It only hit a few guys I think when I hit it, at first,” Smith said. “When guys started realizing the significance of it, it was pretty overwhelming.”Lucas Giolito (10-9) pitched seven sharp innings in his third straight quality start. He allowed a run and three hits with a walk and six strikeouts.Mikie Mahtook homered for the Tigers. Ryan Carpenter (1-2) gave up six runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings.“I started getting behind hitters right from the start and that got me into big trouble,” Carpenter said. “I didn’t have command of my fastball — everything was up — and when I was finally able to find an adjustment in the fourth inning Ted Williams Jersey , it was already too little, too late.”Detroit optioned Carpenter to Triple-A Toledo after the game.The White Sox took an immediate 1-0 lead in the first when Tim Anderson drew a leadoff walk and scored on Jose Rondon’s double. Smith’s drive made it 3-0. After Mahtook homered in the bottom of the second, Chicago responded with two runs in the third on an RBI single by Yoan Moncada and a sacrifice fly by Ryan LaMarre.Matt Davidson brought home another run with a double in the fifth.“Early on, the game really dragged. I don’t like games that don’t have any pace to them,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. “Carp had a really slow pace and didn’t have his best stuff, and we all fell into it. Their guy pitched well, and we hit a few balls on the screws but right at people, but we really didn’t do much.”The White Sox have won eight of 11.LOOKING BETTERGiolito lowered his ERA to 5.85. It’s still the worst mark in the major leagues of anyone who qualifies for the ERA title, but the 23-year-old right-hander has been a bit better since the All-Star break.“It was definitely the best fastball command I’ve had all season,” Giolito said. “Warming up in the bullpen, I was hitting both sides of the plate super consistently.”This was the second time this month that Giolito has gone seven innings with only one run allowed. He also did it in a no-decision Aug. 3 at Tampa Bay.TRAINER’S ROOMTigers: OF JaCoby Jones (right hamstring strain) continued his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo.UP NEXTChicago rookie Michael Kopech (0-0) takes the mound in his second career start for the series finale against Detroit’s Jordan Zimmermann (6-5) on Sunday. The Tigers are retiring Hall of Famer Alan Trammell’s No. 3 and will have a ceremony before the game.
