MINNEAPOLIS - Mike Aviles didnt know his numbers against Ricky Nolasco going into Wednesday nights game. But hes glad his manager did. Aviles homered among his three hits and drove in two runs, and rookie T.J. House threw shutout ball into the sixth inning, combining with four relievers to pitch the Cleveland Indians past the Minnesota Twins 5-0 Wednesday night. Indians manager Terry Francona started Aviles at third base and rested regular starter Lonnie Chisenhall, in part because Aviles had a good track record against Nolasco (5-9). Aviles went 2 for 3 off the Twins starter and drove in the Indians third run with a broken-bat single. Hes now 7 for 11 with 4 RBIs in his career against Nolasco. "I didnt even know that. I know Ive hit some balls decently against (Nolasco) but I didnt know the numbers," said Aviles, who homered into the second deck in left field off reliever Sam Deduno in the ninth inning as well. "I dont even know what it is. I guess sometimes you just see some pitchers a little better than others." Nolasco gave up four runs in 6 2-3 innings. He has now given up 17 home runs in 20 starts. No Twins pitcher has allowed more homers or lost more games this season than Nolasco, who signed a four-year, $48 million contract last December to anchor Minnesotas rotation. "They definitely did attack, but thats something thats happened throughout my career because they know Im going to fill up the strike zone for the most part," Nolasco said. "Sometimes they jump on me a little bit but if you make adjustments and make quality pitches youll get guys out." House (2-3) gave up four hits while striking out five and walked three. The Indians extended Minnesotas scoreless streak to 17 innings. TITO TAKES THE PLUNGE Francona conducted his postgame press briefing in a soggy uniform after he and his coaches taped an ice bucket challenge in the dugout after the game. Francona was challenged by Boston manager John Farrell, but he had another Red Sox great on his mind as he was drenched. "The whole time I was doing it, I dont want to get all emotional, but I was thinking of Curt Schilling," Francona said of his former ace pitcher now battling cancer. "I know how near and dear the fight to find a cure for this is to him." DOUBLE THREAT Twins 2B Brian Dozier became the sixth player in team history with a 20/20 season when he stole second base in the first inning. Torii Hunter was the last Twin to accomplish the feat in 2004. Dozier, who also has 20 homers, posted career highs with 18 home runs and 14 stolen bases last year. TRAINERS ROOM Indians: 1B/OF Nick Swisher underwent season-ending arthroscopic surgery on both knees on Wednesday. He had been suffering from chronic pain related to cartilage damage. Swishers recovery is expected to take eight to 10 weeks. Twins: RHP Kohl Stewart, the fourth pick in the 2013 MLB draft, was pulled from his start at Class A Cedar Rapids in the second inning on Tuesday night when his fastball was registering 5-to-7 mph slower than usual. Twins general manager Terry Ryan said he didnt think Stewarts situation was serious, and that he hoped Stewart would make another start before the end of the minor league season. UP NEXT Indians: Corey Kluber (13-6) hasnt lost since June 30 and can tie for the AL lead in victories if he wins his seventh straight decision on Thursday. Kluber has struck out 10 batters five times in his last eight starts. Twins: Phil Hughes (13-8) also can tie for the AL lead in victories with a win Thursday. Hughes has won three straight starts, allowing just one earned run in each outing. Anthony Miller Bears Jersey . Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark.

He did not practice and his playing status will be reevaluated next week.As far as when Im coming back, who cares? Im just thankful to have breath in my lungs, Newton said as he stood behind a podium during a seven-minute press conference.Newton wont play Sunday against Tampa Bay, Derek Anderson will start at quarterback.Thats fine with Newton, who feels blessed to not have been injured worse — or killed.Im on somebodys fantasy (football) league and I think its the man upstairs, Newton said.Newton arrived at the stadium Thursday morning and attended some team meetings, watched film and began rehabilitation with the training staff. He said his back remains a little stiff, but otherwise feels great.Newton said he doesnt think the other driver saw him as he pulled out into traffic onto the one-way street where the quarterback was driving, about a block from the teams stadium.Newton said the other car clipped the side of his slightly elevated 1998 Dodge truck, causing him to spin and the truck to overturn. Newton said he was conscious for the entire accident, but isnt sure how many times his vehicle flipped.He said the air bags did deploy in his truck.The one thing I remember is that I couldnt talk afterward because I was in such shock, Newton said. In my book one plus one always equals two. And Im looking at this truck and this accident and like, dude, one plus one doesnt equal two. Im like, hey, somebody is supposed to be dead.Newton said he didnt feel any immediate pain, but as his adrenaline started to wear off his lower back began to tighten.Newton said hes not sure how long he will be out of action.He made the decision to come to the stadium to put other peopples minds at ease and doesnt want to be a distraction.dddddddddddd.My presence not only helped others but it helped me, Newton said.Teammates said they were thrilled to see Newton.Anderson said he gave Newton a light hug when he saw him in the training room.I think it was an eye-opener for him, Anderson said of the experience.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said the best-case scenario is Newton could return to action Dec. 21 against Cleveland, but added it will largely be up to the former No. 1 overall picks pain threshold.Well take it one week at a time, Rivera said.The Panthers are half-game out of first place in the NFC South despite a 4-8-1 record after a 41-10 victory over New Orleans last Sunday. They could take over control of the division if they beat the Bucs (2-11) and the Saints and Falcons lose.Anderson, who is 19-25 as an NFL starter, said hes excited for the opportunity to play in such a big game.Obviously the circumstances arent ideal but Ive had a good two days to try get on the same page with everybody, Anderson said.Anderson said the injury could bring the Panthers closer together as a team as the season winds down. He said its one of the tightest locker rooms hes been around in during his 10 seasons in the league and the show of love and support for Newton was noticeable.Guys genuinely care about his well-being first and foremost, Anderson said. And those things kind of bring guys together.Tight end Greg Olsen said Newton was in good spirits as he passed through the locker room.I think its good for him to get back around the guys and get in a normal routine, Olsen said. Its good to see guys him get back because it means things are getting back to normal.NOTES: Rivera said DeAngelo Williams will miss his second straight game with a broken hand. Jonathan Stewart, who ran for 155 yards last Sunday against New Orleans, will get the start.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
