After getting their first ALCS win since 2007 — and tying their longest postseason win streak since 1920 — the Indians will try to take a 2-0 lead Sat-urday with Josh Tomlin facing Toronto’s 20-game winner, J.A. Happ.

Tomlin was originally scheduled to start Game 3, but was moved up when Trevor Bauer sustained an odd injury as he sliced open his right pinkie while repairing a drone.

Kluber kept flying in the postseason.The right-hander has not allowed a

run in 13 1/3 innings this October and he kept the Blue Jays inside Progres-sive Field after they teed off against the Texas Rangers in the Division Series.

Toronto had some early chances, put-ting six runners on in the first three innings. But the Blue Jays failed to come up with a timely hit and lost for the first time in the postseason.

Estrada carried a four-hit shutout into the sixth before walking Jason Kipnis with one out. Lindor was in an 0-2 hole before the shortstop, who could become a household name before this series ends, drove his homer over the wall in right-center.

Lindor pumped his fist as he rounded first and he didn’t stop smiling or slow down until he crossed home plate.

Kluber dodged some early trouble and held the Blue Jays, who hit eight home runs and scored 22 times in their ALDS sweep of Texas, to six hits in the first six innings. The Indians needed every out they could get from Kluber, who shut out Boston for seven innings in his postseason debut 10 days after he injured a quadriceps in a start against Detroit.

The 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner, who will certainly get votes this season after winning 18 games, has been the only dependable starter all season for Cleveland, which lost starters Carlos

Carrasco and Danny Salazar to injuries in September and are now dealing with Bauer’s mishap.

Kluber walked a tightrope over the first three innings, when the Blue Jays mounted what turned into idle threats.

Toronto had two on with one out in the first, but Kluber struck out Bau-tista and retired Russell Martin on an easy grounder. The right-hander was on shaky ground again in the second, allowing a single and walk before get-ting Devon Travis to ground into an inning-ending double play. In the third, Kluber gave up a single and a walk with two outs before striking out Martin.

COMEBACK KID

Blue Jays lefty Francisco Liriano will be eligible to pitch Saturday after recov-ering from a concussion sustained in the ALDS when he was struck in the head by a line drive. Toronto played with a 24-man roster in the opener as Liriano remained in baseball’s seven-day concussion protocol. As a result, RHP Marcus Stroman — Toronto’s pro-jected starter in Game 3 — was avail-able in relief for Game 1.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Travis left in the fifth after aggravat-ing a right knee injury. He sat out the final two games of the Division Series with a bone bruise.

UP NEXT

Blue Jays: Happ struck out 11 and allowed one run over seven innings in beating the Indians on July 3. He was second in the AL in wins, going 20-4 with a 3.18 ERA. Happ picked up the victory in Game 2 of the ALDS against Texas, allowing one run in five innings.

Indians: Tomlin gave up three hom-ers — to Martin, Melvin Upton Jr. and Encarnacion — in a loss to the Blue Jays on Aug. 20. Tomlin went 0-5 in August, but has bounced back and given up seven earned runs in 31 2/3 innings over his last six appearances.

Kenseth Wins Pole At KansasBY DAVE SKRETTA

AP SPORTS WRITER

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Joe Gibbs Racing made another big state-ment in qualifying at Kansas Speed-way on Friday.

The dominant Sprint Cup team this season, JGR swept the top three spots for the second race in the round of 12 of the Chase. Matt Kenseth will start on the pole after his lap of 192.089 mph, Kyle Busch will start alongside him and Carl Edwards will start right behind them in third.

Throw in Martin Truex Jr., whose Furniture Row team has an alliance with the Gibbs boys, and there will be quite a Toyota presence leading the field to the green flag Sunday.

“Our cars are pretty fast this week-end but anything could happen, as we saw last weekend,” said Kenseth, who won at Kansas the last time he sat on the pole in 2013. “We have to go 400 miles on Sunday. Hopefully we can stay up front and be in the mix.”

Most of the Chase contenders were in the mix in the final round of quali-fying.

Joey Logano will try to win the Kan-sas race for the third straight time for the sixth spot, while Denny Hamlin gave JGR another strong qualifying effort with seventh. Brad Keselowski will start eighth, Kevin Harvick will start 11th and Austin Dillon will roll off in 12th.

“We have a decent starting spot.

We’ll get a good stall from there,” Logano said. “Our team’s got confi-dence, for sure. We had a very fast car last weekend at Charlotte.”

The winner last week, Jimmie John-son, struggled with a tight car in qualifying and will start 21st on Sun-day. Chase Elliott will start 13th and Kurt Busch will start 15th as they try to take the pressure off the crapshoot known as Talladega by advancing in the Chase with a win.

“We just missed it a little bit,” Elliott said, “but the starting spot is the starting spot.”

EDWARDS RALLIES: Edwards had a lousy first attempt in the open-ing round of qualifying, and needed a last-ditch second effort to make it through. He posted the fourth-fast-est lap with about 2 minutes left in the second round, then had a lap of 191.015 in the third round.

“I had to run an extra round because I screw up the first round,” Edwards said. “I really thought we were shot after that first one. I didn’t think we had a shot at a top five.”

PENALTIES ISSUED: Kyle Busch hardly seemed hurt by a penalty for swerving after last week’s race at Charlotte that forced him to sit the first 30 minutes of practice Friday. The swerving is a tactic teams have used to help make sure they pass laser inspections.

“You swerve, you’re sitting,” NAS-CAR vice president of competition Scott Miller said.
