CLEVELAND (AP) -- Their ballpark may have a new name. Little else changed about the Cleveland Indians. The defending AL Central champions won in familiar fashion at Progressive Field -- home to so much late-inning drama when it was called Jacobs Field for the past 14 years.

So when he strolled up to the plate in the bottom of the eighth with the bases loaded and two outs in a 7-7 ballgame, the numbers were working against him.
