Indians fall to Twins
The Cleveland Indians, freshly eliminated from playoff contention, lost to the Twins, who are still alive in the postseason race, 4-2 Thursday night in Cleveland.
Trevor Bauer went seven solid innings for the Tribe, allowing one run on two hits while walking three and striking out three. The Indians grabbed the lead in the 7th on a Roberto Perez two-run homer off Tyler Duffey, who went 6.1 and allowed just those two runs on the longball while scattering 6 hits in a no decision for Minnesota.
The Twins scored one in the 8th off Bryan Shaw and two more in the 9th off Cody Allen, who took the loss to fall to 2-5. The Twins won 3 of 4 in the series.
Cubs sweep Reds
The playoff bound Chicago Cubs wrapped up a three game sweep of the Reds Thursday night with a 5-3 win at Great American Ballpark.
The Reds would score 3 in the seventh, as Jason Bourgeois knocked in a run with a groundout and Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto drove in runs with singles.
The Reds will finish a forgettable season in Pittsburgh with a three game series against the Pirates.
Thompson doesn't take Qualifying Offer
The Tristan Thompson contract saga continues in Cleveland, as the deadline passed at midnight for the Cavaliers big man to accept a one-year, $6.8 million qualifying offer.

Ravens edge Steelers for first win
The Baltimore Ravens improved to 1-3 with a 23-20 overtime win over the Steelers last night at Heinz Field.

Michael Vick went 19/24 passing for 124 yards and a touchdown in his first start for the injured Ben Roethlisberger. Le'Veon Bell carried the ball 22 times for 129 yards and a score in the loss that drops the Steelers to 2-2.
Justin Forsett carried the load for Baltimore, rushing 27 times for 150 yards while Joe Flacco went 20/33 through the air for 189 yards with a TD and INT.
