CLEVELAND -- Coming off a tough series against the Detroit Tigers, the Cleveland Indians needed a boost. Thats exactly what they got in Tuesday nights 3-0 win over Toronto. Ubaldo Jimenez and three relievers combined on a shutout while the offence made the most of four hits to help the Indians rebound from losing three of four to the Tigers, who came into town and widened their lead in the American League Central. "This was a nice bounce-back win," manager Terry Francona said. "We didnt do a lot offensively but we played a crisp game. Again, it starts with pitching." Jimenez (7-4) dodged constant trouble in six innings, allowing five hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Cody Allen, Joe Smith and Chris Perez blanked Toronto over the final three innings. Perez allowed two hits in the ninth, but earned his 10th save as the Indians recorded their AL-leading 11th shutout. Nick Swisher and Michael Brantley had RBI singles in the fourth when the Indians put together a walk and three straight singles off starter Josh Johnson (1-4), who gave up two runs in seven innings. Asdrubal Cabrera added a sacrifice fly in the eighth. The win was also a nice bounce-back performance for Jimenez, who took a 5-0 lead into the sixth in his last start against Kansas City, but didnt retire a batter in that inning and the Indians went on to lose 10-7. When faced with trouble this time, Jimenez didnt buckle. "Like they say in baseball, you have to forget quick," he said. "You cant be thinking about bad stuff that happened. You have to forget about that and move on." "He pitched around some things but he never let it spiral or get out of hand," Francona said. "There was a lot of things to like." Toronto stranded nine runners, with seven in the first five innings, and was 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position. Maicer Izturis and Rajai Davis singled with one out in the ninth, but J.P. Arencibia struck out and pinch hitter Josh Thole lined out to shortstop. The Blue Jays best threat against Jimenez came in the fourth when they had runners on first and third with nobody out. Colby Rasmus started the inning with a double and took third on Izturis single. Davis hit into a fielders choice and stole second but Arencibia struck out and Emilio Bonifacio flied out to deep right. Jimenezs strongest inning came in the sixth, the only time he retired the side in order. After finishing 9-17 with a 5.40 ERA in 2012, the right-hander has had much better results this season. He has won his last three decisions and is 4-1 with a 2.93 ERA in his last eight starts. "Hes done a pretty damn good job," Francona said. "He should be proud. What happened last season was difficult for him. He gives us a chance to win. Well take that." Johnson retired the first 10 hitters before Cabrera drew a one-out walk in the fourth. Johnson fell behind 3-0 before a foul ball and called strike ran the count full. Cabrera walked on an inside pitch before Jason Kipnis hit a hard ground ball past shortstop Jose Reyes for Clevelands first hit. Swisher bounced a single through the right side that scored Cabrera and moved Kipnis to third. Brantleys line single to right made it 2-0. Johnson beat Baltimore on June 23 for his only win of the season, allowing four runs in six innings. He was sidelined from April 21 to June 9 with right triceps inflammation. Johnson won his first career start against the Indians on May 20, 2012, while pitching for Miami. Toronto has lost each of Johnsons last three starts. The Blue Jays are 5-10 since winning 11 straight from June 11-23. "We outhit them, but we just didnt outscore them," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "Thats what hurts. We had our chances, but we just couldnt get that big hit tonight." NOTES: The start of Tuesdays game was delayed by rain for 36 minutes. ...

ZURICH -- FIFA President Gianni Infantino has agreed an annual salary of 1.5 million Swiss francs ($1.53 million) with no bonus in 2016, seeking to end a distracting issue of his first six months in office.FIFA said Infantino will also receive a chauffeured car, his lodgings paid, plus monthly expenses of 2,000 Swiss francs ($2,040), in the contract agreed with a three-member compensation panel and signed Wednesday.He will be eligible for a bonus in 2017 under a new compensation policy being drafted by FIFA.I am pleased that this matter is resolved and that I have a signed, valid employment agreement, Infantino said in a statement released by FIFA.The deal backdated to February, ends a dispute that saw former FIFA audit panel chairman Domenico Scala resign in protest.Infantino had described as insulting Scalas offer of around 2 million Swiss francs ($2.04 million) and no bonus.FIFAs former president and secretary general, Sepp Blatter and Jerome Valcke, got bonuses of at least $10 million for each World Cup.Blatter and Valcke got basic salaries of around $3 million and $2 million, respectively, before leaving FIFA this year. Both have been banned from soccer by FIFAs ethics committee for financial wrongdoing and are under criminal investigation by Swiss federal prosecutors.ddddddddddddFIFA described the compensation system being phased out as inadequate and open to malfunction and misuse.The new secretary general Fatma Samoura has agreed a contracted salary of 1.3 million Swiss francs ($1.32 million) the world soccer body said.That reverses a Scala recommendation that the CEO-like secretary general should be the highest-paid staffer following reforms which took some executive powers from the presidential office.The compensation panel met Wednesday under the leadership of Scalas replacement, Tomaz Vesel, and included Issa Hayatou, the longtime African soccer leader who is Infantinos senior vice president and FIFA finance panel chairman.The compensation amounts in our view are absolutely appropriate considering the challenging duties of the President and the Secretary General, said Vesel, a state auditor from Slovenia.
