ATLANTA -- Corey Kluber insists no one in the Cleveland clubhouse is talking about the Indians longest winning streak in 34 years.Outside those walls, however, the Indians are big news as the hottest team in the majors.Carlos Santana hit a tie-breaking single in Clevelands three-run ninth inning, Kluber allowed only three hits in eight innings and the Indians beat the Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Tuesday night for their 11th straight win.The winning streak is the longest in the majors this season and also Clevelands longest since it won 11 straight from May 23-June 4, 1982.Kluber didnt sound impressed.No one is really talking about the winning streak, he said. We realize we are playing well right now. Were just trying to keep that going. Ultimately, an 11-game game winning streak doesnt mean much if you dont continue to build the momentum that you have.The Indians won 12 straight in 1922. The longest streaks in franchise history were 13 games in 1942 and 1951.Kluber (8-7) didnt allow a hit through five innings. He allowed two runs on three hits and one walk with seven strikeouts.Cleveland increased its AL Central lead to six games over second-place Kansas City, which lost 8-4 to St. Louis.Arodys Vizcaino (1-3) walked Tyler Naquin to open the ninth and then walked Juan Uribe on four pitches. With pinch-runner Rajai Davis at first base, and one out, Santanas single to right field drove in Naquin.Braves shortstop Erick Aybar mishandled Francisco Lindors grounder for an error, allowing Davis to score. Jose Ramirez added a run-scoring single up the middle.Atlantas Jace Peterson hit a homer off Cody Allen in the ninth, giving him a nine-game hitting streak.Freddie Freeman added a triple off the center-field wall before Allen ended the game on Nick Markakis fly ball to left field for his 15th save.Cody didnt get rattled, and he got the out, Indians manager Terry Francona said.Ender Inciartes two-run single in the sixth tied the game.Atlanta right-hander Matt Wisler set a career high with nine strikeouts and allowed two runs on six hits in six innings.CONFIRMEDA review confirmed Inciarte was out on a close play at first after Santana bobbled a grounder before tossing to Allen at the bag.Braves interim manager Brian Snitker and outfielder Jeff Francoeur, who was not playing, came out of the dugout to argue. Bench coach Terry Pendleton pulled Francoeur back to the dugout.I felt like I beat the throw, Inciarte said. He didnt even have the ball. I dont know what theyre doing in New York. I dont know what the deal is.LAYNE UPDATEUmpire Jerry Layne, who left Monday nights game in the eighth inning after he was hit by a foul tip from Markakis behind the plate, was at Turner Field on Tuesday but was held out of the game. He was staggered when the foul tip hit his jaw beyond the area covered by his mask. It was not known if Layne will work Wednesday nights game.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: OF Michael Brantley, on the 15-day DL with right biceps tendinitis, has been taking swings for two straight days and by all accounts really did well, Francona said.

Custom Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle.The Cleveland Browns want former All-Pro wide receiver Josh Gordon to rejoin the team if he is reinstated to the NFL by commissioner Roger Goodell. Gordon was suspended for the entire 2015 season for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy.The 24-year-old had been suspended for 10 games in 2014 (and for the season finale by the team) and for the first two games of 2013 for the same reason. Browns executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown was asked about Gordons future at the NFL Combine on Thursday and he confirmed the team are open to having him back.As I understand as its been reported back to me by people who have been in contact with Josh and seen him throughout the offseason, including his representatives, Josh is taking it seriously and hes learned from his mistakes, Brown said Thursday at the NFL combine.Hes serious about wanting to be a pro and be one of the best wide receivers in the game.And so I think if hes done all the things to put himself in that position and clean up some of the mistakes of the past, then certainly we would welcome him back. Josh Gordon had 1,646 receiving yards in 14 games in 2013 Despite Gordons troubled history off the field, he has proven in the past he has the talent to be an elite NFL wide receiver.ddddddddddddGordon set a Browns record with 1,646 receiving yards in 2013, despite missing the first two games of the season.If Gordon fails another test, he will face an indefinite suspension from the NFL but Brown is optimistic he is ready to put his past mistakes behind him.Josh is a tremendously talented young man, Brown said. Ive gotten a chance to know Josh over the three years that Ive been in Cleveland. Ive known him to be generally a good young man. He understands that hes made some mistakes in the past. I think hes accountable for those.Everything that we see and hear in talking to his representation and those that have been in communication with him is that hes eager to get back and contribute. And we feel like if hes accomplished those things, theres a spot for him on the roster. Hell certainly help.
